An oil removing device includes a first heating member that at an outer surface thereof contacts a non-image surface of a recording medium which is transported, and that heats the recording medium, a toner image that is formed by using liquid developer that contains volatile oil and toner being transferred to the recording medium; and a second heating member that is disposed on a downstream side of the first heating member in a transport direction, the second heating member contacting at an outer surface thereof the non-image surface of the recording medium and heating the recording medium. In the oil removing device, a non-contact region where the non-image surface of the recording medium does not contact the first heating member and the second heating member is provided between the first heating member and the second heating member.

Provided is an image forming apparatus including a first holding member that is rotated and holds a liquid developer including a volatile carrier liquid, a first cleaning member that is able to come into contact with or separated from the first holding member and cleans a surface of the first holding member by being in contact with the first holding member, a supplying device that supplies a volatile washing liquid to the first holding member at an upstream side of the first cleaning member in a rotation direction of the first holding member, and a switching mechanism that switches a first state in which the first cleaning member is in contact with the first holding member that is rotated to a second state in which the first cleaning member is separated from the first holding member that is rotated to apply the washing liquid to the first holding member.
