I use the commercially available, wet cleaning kits for my drives, but
I have never cleaned them more than once a year!  I think the packages
recommend once a week or something truly outlandish like that.

BTW, I use the professional cleaning fluids w/rubber conditioning for my
personal tape decks, but at work where Iwe've done mass duplication of tapes,
we just use q-tips and alcohol to clean the heads--a lot cheaper and almost
the same results...
