A cleaning device cleans off a toner from a surface of a member rotating
in a first direction. The cleaning device includes a blade made of an
elastic material including a tip portion with a slanting portion that is
pressed against the surface in a second direction counter to the first
direction. A supporter supports the blade. An angle between the slanting
portion and a longitudinal direction of the blade is obtuse. The slanting
portion is pressed against the surface at a surface pressure of 2.0 MPa
or more.
