The invention relates to a device for expelling liquid from a wiping element which is held on a wiping head of a surface cleaning device so as to form a wiping surface, comprising a container, in which a wiping element holding device accommodating the wiping element as well as a driving device are arranged, wherein the wiping element holding device can be driven by means of the driving device so as to rotate about an axis of rotation. In order to further develop the device in such a manner that it has a lower consumption of energy it is suggested in accordance with the invention that the wiping element holding device form a receiving means, into which the wiping element can be inserted with a surface normal of the wiping surface aligned at an angle to the axis of rotation.
