Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for cleaning of cleaning hoses comprises a hose-surrounding base and wall combination through which cleaning hoses are fed while being wound onto a hose storage spool mounted in a cleaning vehicle. The hose-surrounding base and wall combination has a hose container with a plurality of jets that forcefully spray water at the hoses as they pass through the base. The jets are supplied with pressurized water by a source hose connected to a source tank mounted in the cleaning vehicle. There is a weighted waste pan in the base having a declining bottom portion. Dirty water is withdrawn from the waste pan by a withdrawing hose connected to a waste tank also mounted in the cleaning vehicle. The base is openable to allow insertion and withdrawal of cleaning hoses. Overspray guards attached to the base prevent unwanted seepage of waste water from the base.
