PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device having such a configuration that a large amount of small-diameter toner remaining on an image carrier can surely be polarity-controlled and electrically attracted. SOLUTION: The cleaning device used for removing toner remaining on the image carrier after transfer includes: a means for making the polarity of the toner remaining on the image carrier the same; and a means 25 to which the polarity opposite to that made the same by the means for making the polarity the same is applied, to remove and recover the remaining toner. As the means for making the polarity the same, one configured in such a manner that a conductive blade 23 and a conductive brush 33 are integrally structured is used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
