An improved cleaning apparatus for cleaning the residual toner particles from the heated fuser roll of a heated pressure fusing system in an electrostatic copy machine. The improved cleaning apparatus includes a carriage supporting a plurality of cleaning rollers in contact with the surface of the heated fuser roll. A pressure loading mechanism applies a force of about 4 to 8 pounds onto the carriage and cleaning rollers against the surface of the heated fuser roll. Each cleaning roller has a core member which is wrapped in a soft thermally insulating material such that under the pressure loading condition the surface of the cleaning roller conforms to that of the heated fuser roll. The exterior surface of each cleaning roller has a toner coating mixed with silicone oil to insure proper release of the residual toner from the heated fuser roll onto the cleaning roller.
