An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a charging device, a charge bias applying portion, a transfer device, a transfer bias applying portion, a cleaning blade in contact with the surface of the photosensitive member at a blade cleaning position downstream of a transfer position and upstream of a charging position, a rotatable brush in contact with the surface at a brush cleaning position downstream of the transfer position and upstream of a blade cleaning position, and a cleaning bias applying portion. A controller during non-image formation, causes the cleaning bias applying portion to apply test biases to the brush and to perform a setting operation in which a voltage to be applied by the cleaning bias applying portion is set based on a detecting result of a current flowing through the brush or a voltage applied to the brush when test biases are applied.
