Cleaning device and image forming apparatus using the same

In an image forming apparatus, after the development of a latent image formed on an image carrier effected by using toner, which has a volume mean grain size of 5 μm to 10 μm and in which 60 number percent to 80 number percent of toner grains have a grain size of 5 μm or below, and the transfer of the resulting image to a recording medium, a cleaning device of the present invention removes the toner left on the image carrier with a fur brush. The fur brush is capable of contacting the surface of the image carrier with density high enough to block the toner grains having the above grain size.
