Abstract
A cleaning device includes a cleaning unit that cleans an object to be cleaned that moves by bringing a contact portion into contact with the object to be cleaned, the contact portion extending in a width direction that crosses a moving direction in which the object to be cleaned moves, the cleaning unit including a supported surface at a downstream side in the moving direction; and a support unit including a supporting surface that faces the supported surface and that includes a bonded portion bonded to the supported surface, the support unit supporting the cleaning unit at the bonded portion. The bonded portion is provided at an intermediate position of the supporting surface in a direction in which the supporting surface extends toward the object to be cleaned, and the support unit includes an extending portion that extends further toward the object to be cleaned from the bonded portion.
