Abstract
To rinse a cleaning member, a rinsing liquid is discharged from a nozzle onto the cleaning member to wipe the discharging port surface of the liquid discharging apparatus. The foregoing cleaning member is thus maintained in a rinsed condition at all times, thereby obtaining high cleaning performance of the liquid discharging port surface and long-term, stable liquid discharge from the liquid discharging head. A liquid suction force is also created in the cleaning member to draw the viscous ink from the nozzles when the liquid discharging port surface of the liquid discharging head is wiped, thereby further enhancing the cleaning performance.
