With it a machine cleaning system is created which is able to clean problem zones of the work area of a machine without imosing a load on the space surrounding the machine. This is achieved if a second suction line (4, 16) in form of a hose that is flexible at least in sections the end (6) of which opening towards the work area (A) of the machine is freely movable for cleaning while its end attached to the machine is connected to the suction system (1a, 1b, 14) in order to introduce the aspired dirt into the suction system.
