PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device that can have excellent cleaning performance without lowering the original electrophotographic performance of a photoreceptor while prolonging the life of the photoreceptor even when toner in use is small particle toner having no corner and can uniformly charge the photoreceptor, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the cleaning device. SOLUTION: The cleaning device is equipped with a blade 21 which makes its edge portion abut against a surface of the photoreceptor 1 to scrape toner off and a brush roller 22 which supplies particulates of a lubricant 27 scraped off by bringing tips of nap of a brush into contact with the surface of the photoreceptor 1, the blade 21 being set to a rebound resilience of 10 to 45% and a Young's modulus of 5 to 11 MPa.
