I must be a bit younger than you. I remember the CD player lens cleaners. Those actually had brushes that made contact with the lens and did stuff sometimes.
Of course, a gentle hand and lint-free cloth will clean the lens, too. Probably better lol

An Amish boy on rumspringa decides that he wants to experience all that the English world has to offer, so he gets a date with a girl, and she suggests that he goes to the video store and gets them a porno to watch that night, before she takes his virginity.
Later that night he shows up at her apartment with a bottle of wine and a vhs. "What movie did you get us?" She asks,
Excitedly, he pulls out the vhs and says "this looks really sexy! It's called head cleaner!"
My older brother told me that joke as a kid. It was my first dirty joke. Lol
You're supposed to sniff the liquid that came with em. Cleans your head.
Holy fuck that takes me back.
I'd wake up, wipe the blood from my nose, wait for my vision to return, then start huffing that magical juice all over again.
I hope you’re doing better these days

Also, that song fucking sucked!
The duality
🎵clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere 🎵
The recommended way of cleaning fixed heads, no matter if on a tape deck or on a floppy drive, is to just use a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol.
Helical-scan head drums like on any VCRs or any camcorders that used tape to record to, or on DAT decks and some data tape drives which used helical-scan formats like DAT/DDS or Data8/AIT, for example, are more delicate and have different recommendations for manual cleaning.
The hidden song at the end was awesome
Of man
Most blank tapes of that era had the 5 second lead-in, and that part of the tape was the same head cleaning material. I also never believed it worked and always cleaned the heads with an alcohol soaked cotton swab. Good ole days, mix tapes and mullets.
