The invention discloses a water-cleaning circulating system for substandard sheets produced in silk-screen printing. The water-cleaning circulating system comprises a soaking apparatus (2), a front surface flushing apparatus (3) and a back surface flushing apparatus (4); a first solution circulating apparatus (29) is arranged in a first liquid outlet (26); the outlet of the first solution circulating apparatus (29) is connected with a first liquid inlet (28); a second solution circulating apparatus (34) is arranged in a second liquid outlet (31); the outlet of the second solution circulating apparatus (34) is connected with a second liquid inlet (33); and filtering apparatuses for filtering solid precipitate are arranged in the first liquid outlet (26) and the second liquid outlet (31). Before the front surface and the back surface of the substandard sheets are cleaned, the substandard sheets are soaked for one time to remove a part of aluminum paste from the surfaces of the substandard sheets as well as to permeate a part of water to the aluminum paste; therefore, the aluminum paste is easy to fall off in the front surface flushing process and the back surface flushing process; the requirement on the water flow speed is lowered; and the separate recycling for aluminum and silver is realized.
