Know that any cleaning tape (or disc) will introduce some wear, 
particularly on rotary heads which, may be irreplaceable. The 'old 
fashion' system; manual labor & using a cleaning solution (I have used 
denatured alcohol for years without harm) is best. On a rotary head 
machine, you cannot use a cotton swab. You have to use a swab designed 
for that purpose. The swab generally has a foam tip.
