A method for attaching a sheet member to a cylinder body includes: preliminarily fixing a first end portion of the sheet member to a first fixation portion of a cylinder body provided in an apparatus body and having a substantially circular cross section; wrapping the sheet member around the cylinder body by rotating the cylinder body; fixing the first end portion and a second end portion of the sheet member to the first fixation portion and a second fixation portion, respectively; and installing an installation member between the apparatus body and an inner surface of the sheet member before the wrapping of the sheet member around the cylinder body.

A cleaning blade includes a contact part coming into contact with a member to be cleaned, the contact part being configurated by a member containing polyurethane rubber produced by polymerizing at least a polyol component, which contains over 50 mol % and 75 mol % or less of 1,4-butanediol relative to the entire polyol components, with a polyisocyanate component. The ratio (M100/Re) of 100% modulus (M100 [MPa]) to rebound resilience coefficient (Re [%]) is 0.25 or more. The rebound resilience coefficient (Re [%]) is 25% or more.
