Abstract

A pipe cleaning apparatus (10) is provided that is arranged for passage along a pipe during use. The apparatus (10) comprises a body (16) having an axis; and one or more cleaning members (20) depending outwardly from the body (16) and arranged for contact with an inner wall of a pipe to be cleaned. The apparatus (10) has flow diverting means (28, 18) oriented obliquely with respect to the axis of the body (16) so as to induce rotation of the body about said axis during passage of the apparatus (10) along a pipe during use.
