An image forming apparatus includes an intermediate transfer belt, a driving source commonly and rotationally driving the intermediate transfer belt and a second image carrier, a first cleaning blade rubbing at a first rubbing position, and a second cleaning blade rubbing a second image rubbing position. The image forming apparatus includes a lubricant supplying portion capable of supplying lubricant to the first or second rubbing position, a load detecting portion detecting a driving load of the driving source, and a control portion capable of executing a lubricant supplying mode of supplying lubricant to either one of the first and second rubbing positions on a basis of processing contents of a most recent predetermined number of times of image forming operations in a case where the driving load detected by the load detecting portion exceeds a predetermined value.
