Abstract: An optical connector cleaning tool includes a supply reel (11) having a belt-like cleaning cloth (3), and a winding bobbin (12) for winding the cleaning cloth (3). The optical connector cleaning tool also includes a housing (7) which rotatably supports the supply reel (11) and winding bobbin (12), a cleaning head (13) which comes in contact with the cleaning cloth (3), and a pressing member (5) which supports the cleaning head (13) and moves in a longitudinal direction with respect to the housing (7). The optical connector cleaning tool further includes a slide spring (53) which biases the pressing member (5) forward, and a transmission mechanism (33) which transmits an action of the pressing member (5) to the winding bobbin (12). The transmission mechanism (33) includes a rack (32) on the side of the pressing member (5), and a pinion on the side of the winding bobbin (12).
