_do_not_ use anything abrasive, as are head cleaning tapes.

pure grain alcohol or denatured alcohol only. no oil base like rubbing alcohol.
apply with cotton swab or lint free cotton pad. remove any cotton fibers that
may remain.

also, clean all rollers and such surfaces that tape crosses.

if they still carry it, and excuse me for suggesting, radio shack used to
carry audio tape cleaning kits. cleaner and pads will work.
