The device includes an endless fixing member urged into contact with an endless counter member to form a fixing nip therebetween through which a receiving material path extends. A cleaning member having a tacky surface is in contact with the surface of the fixing member to remove debris therefrom. Polymer material particles are applied to the cleaning member to render the surface tacky. A radiant heating device heats the polymer material particles on the cleaning member surface to render the surface tacky prior to contact of the cleaning member surface with the fixing member surface. Debris, especially paper dust, can thereby be reliably removed from the fixing member.
