Abstract: A cleaning brush includes bristles that have ends which come into contact with an object to be cleaned having irregularities on a surface thereof, and a brush base on which the bristles are arranged. The bristles include first bristles and second bristles. The first bristles have a thickness too great to reach bottoms of recessed portions of the irregularities on the surface of the object to be cleaned. The second bristles have a thickness small enough to reach the bottoms of the recessed portions of the irregularities on the surface of the object to be cleaned.

Abstract: A cleaning member includes plural bristles including tips that come into contact with an object to be cleaned having a surface including recesses and projections; and a brush base to which the bristles are attached. The bristles each have a non-circular cross-section including a projecting portion that projects toward an outer periphery, at least the projecting portion having a size such that the projecting portion is capable of entering the recesses in the object to be cleaned.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image carrier that carries an image, a charging unit having a rotatable charging member that charges the image carrier, a developing unit that supplies a developer including at least toner to the charged image carrier, and a cleaning unit having a cleaning member that cleans a surface of the image carrier. At least when the image forming apparatus is not performing image formation, the charging member on which the toner is carried is caused to rotate at a peripheral velocity different from a peripheral velocity at which the image carrier rotates.

Abstract: A cleaning member includes a first cleaning part formed of a porous material and a second cleaning part formed of a porous material. The first cleaning part includes first projections each having a size that enables the first projections to pass between projecting portions of an object to be cleaned having surface irregularities and to reach the bottom of recessed portions of the object to be cleaned. The second cleaning part includes second projections larger than the first projections. The cleaning member cleans the object to be cleaned by coming into contact with the object to be cleaned.
