Image forming apparatus including cleaning rod

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a rotating photosensitive member;
• an optical print head including a plurality of light emitting portions provided along a rotational axis direction of the photosensitive member and configured to emit light to expose the photosensitive member, a substrate on which the plurality of light emitting portions is provided, a lens configured to condense the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting portions on the photosensitive member, and a holder configured to hold the substrate and the lens;
• a cleaning rod configured to abut on the lens and clean the lens;
• a first guiding member configured to guide the cleaning rod along the rotational axis direction and restrict movement of the cleaning rod in an optical axis direction orthogonal to both the rotational axis direction and a width direction of the substrate orthogonal to the rotational axis direction, the first guiding member being separate from the holder;
• and
• a second guiding member separate from the holder and configured to guide the cleaning rod between the photosensitive member and the optical print head.
