PURPOSE:To effectively remove the toner, developer, etc., sticking onto the photosensitive body without exerting adverse influence on the electrophotographic characteristics thereof so that the photosensitive body can be cleanly regenerated by impregnating 2 to 6C straight chain aliphat. alcohol in a cloth and lightly wiping the surface of the photosensitive body thereby cleaning the photosensitive body. CONSTITUTION:After images are repeatedly formed by electrostatic charging, exposing, developing, transferring and cleaning stages on the electrophotographic sensitive body, the photosensitive body is cleaned by a solvent essentially consisting of 2 to 6C straight chain aliphat. alcohol. This 2 to 6C straight chain (there are no branches in the carbon chain) aliphat. alcohol has a good wiping property and does not affect the images. This cleaning method is applicable to the electrophotographic sensitive bodies of a wide range of types and is applicable even to amorphous silicon photosensitive bodies and Se photosensitive bodies in addition to OPC photosensitive bodies formed by using org. raw materials. The toner, developer, etc., fixing on the photosensitive body are effectively removed and cleaned in this way, by which the photosensitive body is regenerated. |
