A cleaning liquid usable for cleaning of an ink-jet recording apparatus, the cleaning liquid comprising: a first water-soluble organic solvent, a vapor pressure at 20°C of the first water-soluble organic solvent being not less than 7 Pa; a second water-soluble organic solvent, a vapor pressure at 20°C of the second water-soluble organic solvent being not more than 1 Pa; a nonionic surfactant; and water, wherein the cleaning liquid satisfies the following conditions to: 10 ≤ A + B ≤ 60 A / B ≥ 1 A + B / C ≥ 10, in the conditions to, A: a content amount (% by mass) of the first water-soluble organic solvent in an entire amount of the cleaning liquid, B: a content amount (% by mass) of the second water-soluble organic solvent in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, and C: a content amount (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, wherein the first water-soluble organic solvent includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: propylene glycol, ethylene glycol and 1,3-butanediol, and wherein the second water-soluble organic solvent includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: glycerol, diethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, triethylene glycol-n-butyl ether and tripropylene glycol-n-butyl ether, and wherein the nonionic surfactant includes an acetylene glycol-based surfactant having an ethylene oxide skeleton and wherein the acetylene glycol-based surfactant having the ethylene oxide skeleton is the only surfactant contained in the cleaning liquid. a first water-soluble organic solvent, a vapor pressure at 20°C of the first water-soluble organic solvent being not less than 7 Pa; a second water-soluble organic solvent, a vapor pressure at 20°C of the second water-soluble organic solvent being not more than 1 Pa; a nonionic surfactant; and water, wherein the cleaning liquid satisfies the following conditions to: 10 ≤ A + B ≤ 60 A / B ≥ 1 A + B / C ≥ 10, in the conditions to, A: a content amount (% by mass) of the first water-soluble organic solvent in an entire amount of the cleaning liquid, B: a content amount (% by mass) of the second water-soluble organic solvent in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, and C: a content amount (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, A: a content amount (% by mass) of the first water-soluble organic solvent in an entire amount of the cleaning liquid, B: a content amount (% by mass) of the second water-soluble organic solvent in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, and C: a content amount (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant in the entire amount of the cleaning liquid, wherein the first water-soluble organic solvent includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: propylene glycol, ethylene glycol and 1,3-butanediol, and wherein the second water-soluble organic solvent includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: glycerol, diethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, triethylene glycol-n-butyl ether and tripropylene glycol-n-butyl ether, and wherein the nonionic surfactant includes an acetylene glycol-based surfactant having an ethylene oxide skeleton and wherein the acetylene glycol-based surfactant having the ethylene oxide skeleton is the only surfactant contained in the cleaning liquid.
