An optical or optoelectronic device with at least one transparent cover and with a cleaning device for cleaning the surface of the cover with a fluid cleaning agent. In order to effectively clean such a device, in particular a LiDAR device, without the external appearance being disturbed by visible components of a cleaning device, it is proposed that the jet of cleaning agent is directed against a reflector, which is at least temporarily or permanently arranged and aligned at a distance from the outlet opening and the surface, so that the jet of cleaning agent is reflected by the reflector and is deflected onto the surface as at least one spray jet.
