PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device which suppresses an increase in wearing of a cleaning blade member in a high temperature environment, and to provide an image forming apparatus using the cleaning device. SOLUTION: The cleaning device includes the cleaning blade (50) that comes into contact with the surface of a member to be cleaned to remove a residue remaining on the surface of the member to be cleaned, and that includes multiple layers, wherein the leading end of the cleaning blade (50) shifts in a separating direction from the surface of the member to be cleaned due to a difference in thermal expansion property among the multiple layers when temperature rises.
