The invention relates to a channel cleaning device. The channel cleaning device has a rinsing hose, to which pressurized water is applied, which is stored on an assigned storage reel, and which passes through a transportation apparatus adjacent to the storage reel. A manner of operating, which protects the rinsing hose, is achieved by providing a reel arrangement, around which the rinsing hose is wrapped at least once, having two redirection reels arranged laterally adjacent to one another in the radial direction, which are offset in relation to one another in the axial direction by at least the thickness of the rinsing hose and of which at least one redirection reel is arranged tilted about an axis of symmetry, which perpendicularly intersects the axes of the two redirection reels, so that during each complete wrap around the reel arrangement forming the transportation apparatus by the rinsing hose, a pitch of the path assigned to the rinsing hose results.
