The invention relates to a method and a cleaning system for machine-cleaning workpieces and/or machine components received in at least one partly open cleaning chamber. A first aspect of the invention relates to a method for machine-cleaning workpieces or machine components received in at least one partly open cleaning chamber, wherein the workpieces or machine components to be cleaned are introduced into the cleaning chamber on a workpiece support and/or a rotary arrangement; at least one cleaning flow is generated by at least one lance device. The cleaning flow being supplied to at least some sections of the outer contour of the workpieces or machine components to be cleaned; and where the lance device can be moved along the outer contour of the workpiece or machine component to be cleaned in a controlled manner by a guiding and moving device dependent on a control routine which is executed in a control unit. Multiple cleaning sections are defined on the three-dimensional outer contour in an individual manner for the workpiece or machine component to be cleaned on the basis of test specifications for the residual dirt analysis of workpieces or machine components, and the control routine is generated based thereon. The lance device is guided at least to the ascertained cleaning sections in a controlled manner by means of the guiding and moving device, and each cleaning section is supplied with the cleaning flow in a controlled manner.
