To provide a sheet and a method for cleaning an anilox roll, which enable the anilox roll to be cleaned with ease.
In this cleaning sheet 20, a liquid-nonabsorbable rough surface material 22 and a liquid-absorbable rough surface material 23 are attached to a surface of a sheet 21 composed of a resin etc. In the material 22, a sheet-like rough surface material 22b composed of a rough raw material such as felt is attached to a surface of a liquid-nonabsorbable material 22a such as a resin rubber sheet, attached onto the sheet 21, in a laminated state. Ink 13, which adheres to a surface of the anilox roll 11, is scraped off by the brush action of the material 22. The material 23 absorbs the scraped-off ink 13 and a cleaning liquid. Thus, both a roll 1 and the anilox roll 11 are rotated in the state of abutting on each other, so that the anilox roll 11 can be automatically cleaned.
