A method of maintaining a photoconductive member of an image forming apparatus is disclosed. The method includes applying fluid to a photoconductive member to form an image thereon, transferring the fluid from the photoconductive member in the form of the image and providing sponge applicator fluid to respective sponge applicator units. The method also includes squeezing the sponge applicator units to remove at least a portion of the sponge applicator fluid therefrom and sequentially placing each one of the sponge applicator units in contact with the photoconductive member to cool and clean the photoconductive member.
