ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device that cleans the surface of an image carrier, includes a cleaning blade that contacts the surface of the image carrier, a lubricant-applying brush roller that applies a lubricant to the surface of the image carrier, a cleaning brush roller that removes residual transfer toner from the surface of the image carrier, and a flicker that removes toner from the cleaning brush roller. The flicker performs a flicking operation corresponding to a part of the entire area in the axial direction of the cleaning brush roller at one time. A process cartridge and an image forming apparatus include the image carrier and the cleaning device.
