Abstract: A cleaning base used for laundry treatment is provided. The cleaning base includes a bottom frame and a water inlet pipeline. A cleaning portion, and a cleaning cavity for containing a ground cleaning device are formed in the base. The cleaning portion is used for cleaning at least part of the ground cleaning device. The water inlet pipeline is in communication with the cleaning portion and a tap water source. Since the water inlet pipeline is in communication with the tap water source, it is not necessary to provide a water storage structure having a large structural size for the cleaning base. The overall structural size of the cleaning base is reduced. The tap water source can continuously supply water to a cleaning tank. Thus, a user does not need to manually add water to the water storage structure.
