A method for cleaning a number of turbine blades of a turbine under operation conditions by means of a cleaning fluid which is sprayed onto the turbine blades by a number of nozzles is disclosed. The method is characterised in that the cleaning fluid is distributed to the nozzles such that only a fraction of the nozzles is used at any one time to spray the cleaning fluid onto the turbine blades. Furthermore, a turbine comprising a number of rotor blades, a number of stator blades and a number of nozzles is described. Each nozzle is connected to a cleaning fluid supply. The turbine further comprises at least one distribution unit which is configured such that the cleaning fluid can be distributed to only a fraction of the nozzles at any one time.
