PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method that suppresses the occurrence of abrasion and scratches of a photoreceptor while efficiently preventing image deletion, and prevents the occurrence of deterioration of image quality due to surface deterioration of the photoreceptor, as well as an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: An image forming method allows a cleaning blade to come to contact with a photoreceptor to remove deposit on the surface of the photoreceptor. Inorganic particles A each having new Mohs hardness of 3 or more to 4 or less and a number average particle diameter of 50 nm or more to 300 nm or less, and inorganic particles B each having new Mohs hardness of 7 or more to 13 or less and a number average particle diameter of 50 nm or more to 300 nm or less are supplied to the contact point of the cleaning blade and the photoreceptor. |
