A cleaning tool () includes a cleaning head () and a handle () and is to be used with a cleaning sheet attached to the cleaning head (). The cleaning head () has a gradual-liquid-release mechanism () including a liquid reservoir () and a gradual-liquid-release portion () that, by the action of hydrostatic pressure from above, gradually releases a liquid agent supplied to the liquid reservoir () to a cleaning face () provided by a cleaning cushion () of the cleaning head () while causing the liquid agent to pass through a multitude of fine flow paths. The gradual-liquid-release portion () is provided continuously across substantially the entire width in the length direction of the substantially rectangular cleaning head () as viewed along the short-side direction of the cleaning head (), the portion () provided facing the cleaning face () of the cleaning head ().
