To provide an image forming method capable of suppressing the occurrence of image blurring and filming over a long period of time and also suppressing the scratches on the surface of a photoreceptor. A charging process for charging a latent image carrier, a latent image forming process for forming a latent image, a developing process for forming a toner image, a transfer process for transferring the toner image to a transfer object, and a transfer process And a cleaning step of cleaning the toner remaining on the surface of the latent image carrier after contact with the surface of the latent image carrier and using a conductive brush used in a state where a voltage is applied. In the image forming method, the cleaning unit includes a first conductive brush and a second conductive brush arranged along the rotation direction of the latent image carrier, and is applied to the first conductive brush. The polarity of the applied voltage is opposite to the polarity of the voltage applied to the second conductive brush, and the toner includes composite particles in which inorganic fine particles are dispersed and contained in resin particles.
