The invention relates to a cleaning device for a portioning utensil used for portioning ice cream or the like, which can be used in a receptacle. Cleaning fluid being fed to a valve support can be conducted through at least two rinsing rods and can be discharged via nozzles being located on the rinsing rods. An actuation mechanism switches a valve within the valve support. In order to be able to optimally clean the receptacle and the cleaning device, it is proposed to insert a splash guard separately into the receptacle and/or to design the rinsing rods such that the same can be detached, especially by hand.
