ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes: image forming mechanisms for forming a toner image on a recording material at a recording position, a convey mechanism having a recording material bearing member for bearing the recording material for conveying the recording material to the recording position, a first cleaning device having a brush-shaped cleaning member slidingly contacted with a surface of the recording material bearing member for cleaning the surface of the recording material bearing member, and a second cleaning device having an oil absorber member abutted against the surface of the recording material bearing member for cleaning the surface of the recording material bearing member. The oil absorber member is abutted against the surface of the recording material bearing member at a side opposite to a side where the toner is scattered due to the sliding contact between the brush-shaped cleaning member and the surface of the recording material bearing member.
