The invention provides a cleaning management method and a device, and an endoscope management system. The endoscope management system comprises a pre-washing machine (22), a main washing machine (23) and a server (25). A pre-washing resume producing part (86) reads endoscope identification information from an IC label of an electronic endoscope of a pre-washing object. The pre-washing resume producing part (86) endows the endoscope identification information with pre-washing execution information to produce a pre-washing resume. A communication part (87) sends the pre-washing resume to the server (25) which stores the received pre-washing resume as washing resume information in an pre-washing resume washing resume DB (68). When main washing is conducted by means of the main washing machine (23), it is determined whether pre-washing begins based on the washing resume information.
