A device for cleaning and/or suctioning pile fibers for pile fabric filtration can be brought into a fluid connection with a suction source and includes at least one suction slot. The device for cleaning and/or suctioning has structure for mechanically cleaning, restoring and profiling the pile fibers. The structure increases the cleaning effect and simultaneously realigns the pile fibers and thus restores the pile fibers layer.
