A soft wall curtain cleaner having an elongated handle over which a slidable handle sleeve is slidably mounted. The handle is connected to a proximate cleaning pad mount. The sleeve includes a support arm which extends past the proximate cleaning pad mount and supports a distal cleaning pad mount oriented generally parallel to the proximate cleaning pad mount. Cleaning pads are mounted on the mounts. In use, the spaced mounts and their associated cleaning pads can be slipped over a curtain strip. The user can then hold the handle in one hand and the slidable handle sleeve in the other, and pull the slidable sleeve towards the user, such that the two cleaning pads firmly engage both sides of the curtain strip. The user then forces the assembly downwardly such that the cleaning pads slide downwardly over the curtain strip and clean it on both sides, throughout its length.
