The invention relates to a cleaning device used for the cleaning, lubrication, maintenance and drying of objects which are hung together, for instance chains of any type, in an assembled or disassembled condition and in minimal space conditions. The cleaning head comprises two plug-in or collapsible halves (1-4) which can be applied to and closed over the object to be treated, for instance a chain (11). A cleaning channel (23) is disposed inside the housing to enable the chain to pass trough. Inside, in the upper part (1, 2), a by-pass groove (9) allows for tangential flow of a fluid coming from nozzles (8). The cleaning fluid is fed under pressure via conduits. The deflection of the liquid jet at approximately 90 DEG , resulting from a radius (18) used to make the by-pass groove, causes the liquid jet to be splashed in a fan-shaped way, whereby complete cleaning can be performed. The cleaning device is also provided with a suction chamber (5) which is connected via a pipe to a vacuum cleaner, enabling the cleaning liquid can be sucked up.
