The invention provides a cleaner suitable for cleaning a mahjong mat and a cleaning method thereof, and relates to the technical field of cleaning devices. The cleaner suitable for cleaning the mahjong mat comprises a box, the top of the box is connected with a handle and a switch, a reset spring is connected with the top of the inner wall of the handle, the end, away from the handle, of the resetspring is connected with a total adjusting base, and supporting rods are connected with the two sides of the total adjusting base. According to the cleaner suitable for cleaning the mahjong mat, by pressing the total adjusting base upwards, the supporting rods are squeezed, and a movable base is moved downwards by using the lever principle. By using the reset spring and sliding spring seats, reset operation is achieved, it is convenient for people to squeeze the supporting rods many times, and time and labor are saved. By arranging telescoping rods, the stability of the device during work isimproved; through the cooperation of the supporting plates, support rods and cleaning mechanisms, it can be achieved that the cleaning mechanisms move up and down at the same time, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved, and the cost is reduced.
