The surface cleaning device (1) has a vibration layer (30) attached to the surface side of a base body (10), where the vibration layer is vibrated at a predetermined excitation frequency. The predetermined excitation frequency corresponds the natural frequency of the vibration layer. The excitation of the vibration layer takes place by an electrical power source. The vibration layer has two electrodes and an electro-active polymer layer arranged between the two electrodes. The two electrodes are electrically coupled with the power source.
