An image forming apparatus includes a movable intermediary transfer member, a toner image forming unit, a rotatable transfer member, a fixing unit, a recording material feeding portion, an executing portion, and first and second cleaning units. The first cleaning unit includes a first brush roller, a first rotatable member and a first blade member. The second cleaning unit includes a second brush roller, a second rotatable member, a second blade member and a third blade member. The third blade member is disposed downstream of the cleaning portion and upstream of a contact portion, between the second rotatable member and the second brush roller, with respect to a rotational direction of the second rotatable member, and scrapes a deposited matter off the second rotatable member with the rotation of the second rotatable member.
