A cleaning control device is configured to control a cleaning system of a vehicle equipped with (i) an optical sensor configured to acquire an outside light image according to intensity of outside light while light irradiation for sensing reflected light is stopped, (ii) a sensing camera configured to acquire a camera image according to the intensity of the outside light, and (iii) the cleaning system configured to clean an incident surface on which light is incident from sensing areas of the optical sensor and the sensing camera overlapping with each other. The cleaning control device includes an extraction unit configured to extract an unmatched pixel group by comparing the outside light image with the camera image, and a control unit configured to instruct the cleaning system to perform cleaning control to remove dirt from the incident surface, the dirt being estimated to correspond to the unmatched pixel group.
