Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transfer belt, a cleaning device that sweeps off toner remaining on a transfer surface of the transfer belt by using a rotary brush, electrically adsorbs the toner swept by a recovery roller, and removes the toner, a pre-cleaning brush that slidably contacts with the transfer surface of the transfer belt at an upstream side in a belt rotation direction from the cleaning device, and a support member that supports the pre-cleaning brush. A support wall of the support member is formed with openings that liberate foreign matters such as toner and paper powder deposited onto the pre-cleaning brush.
