Zusammenfassung:A cleaning system and a method for cleaning a surface of a ferromagnetic object are disclosed. Accordingly, to an example configuration, the cleaning system includes a device body having a guide face configured for selective placement against the surface. The device body comprises a magnetic system generating a magnetic field configured to urge the guide face against the surface of the ferromagnetic object by a magnetic force. The cleaning system further includes a scraper blade projecting outward from the device body to contact the surface upon placement of the guide face against the surface. The guide face may optionally comprise an outward-facing abrasive surface.
