Abstract

To provide an ultrasonic cleaning device (1) that ensures stable operation of a vibrating element for generating ultrasonic without a complex structure and distribution of a great quantity of a cleaning liquid and (2) that is capable of cleaning upper and lower surfaces of a cleaning target easily, an ultrasonic cleaning section of the device is provided with an upper cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle and a lower cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle for projection of ultrasonic. The upper cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle supplies an upper surface cleaning liquid to an upper surface of a glass substrate. The lower cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle supplies the lower surface cleaning liquid to a lower surface of the substrate in a form of shower to which ultrasonic has been projected. A vibrating element for generating ultrasonic to be projected to the lower surface cleaning liquid is provided in a cleaning liquid distribution path that extends from an upstream side to a downstream side in a direction in a range of a horizontal direction to an upward direction.
