See full text

A cleaning apparatus includes a plate shaped cleaner that comes into contact with a belt shaped member that rotates supported by a roller in a position not opposed to the roller in a surface on an opposite side of a surface where the roller comes into contact with the belt shaped member, wherein the plate shaped cleaner cleans the surface of the belt shaped member, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor obtains an amount of use of the plate shaped cleaner for each belt tension state in the belt shaped member in which the belt tension state is switched. The hardware processor sets a replacement determination timing of the plate shaped cleaner based on the obtained amount of use of the plate shaped cleaner.
