Abstract

A cleaning tool includes a head, a take-up reel, a driven roller, and a passthrough component. The head presses a cleaning element, having a tape shape, onto an optical connector. The take-up reel reels the cleaning element retrieved from the head. The driven roller guides the cleaning element on a convey path from the head to the take-up reel. The pass-through component includes a slit through which the cleaning element is extended, and the pass-through component is located between the driven rollers and the take-up reel.
