A cleaning device includes a cleaning member for cleaning a surface of an
image bearing member while it is moving, a holding member for holding the
cleaning member, a vibrating member which per se is vibratable, and a
controller for controlling operation of the vibrating member. The holding
member is movable toward and away from the image bearing member, the
vibrating member is held on the holding member, and the controller
actuates the vibrating member upon stoppage of movement of the image
bearing member.
