A cleaning assembly for leading edges of airfoils, in particular airfoil profiles of aircraft or spacecraft, has a cleaning device that is provided with at least one cleaning member and is intended for applying mechanical pressure to a planar region of an airfoil, and has a drive having at least one drive element, which drive moves the cleaning device along the surface to be cleaned. It is proposed to adhesively hold the cleaning device on the airfoil by the at least one cleaning member and/or for the at least one cleaning member to have a sticky surface and for the at least one cleaning member to be dimensionally stable and have flexible contours.
