Abstract (en)

A cleaning device is used in an image forming apparatus for removing residual substances on a surface of the image forming apparatus after an image forming operation including a process for developing an electro-static latent image formed by electrophotography on a surface of an image data forming body of the image forming apparatus and a process for transferring the developed image onto a recording medium. The cleaning device includes a first cleaning device (2) for removing residual toner (7) from the surface of the image data forming body (10); and a second cleaning means (5) for removing an adhering substance (8) different from the toner from the surface of the image data forming body. The second cleaning device (5) is located downstream with respect to the first cleaning device (2) in a direction (A) in which the image forming operation proceeds. <IMAGE>
