VCR Head Cleaninng Question
#10
The wet cleaners for VHS actually often have a different solvent than isopropyl alcohol, excessive use of it can break down the head material as it attacks the cements used to make the heads. But for an occasional cleaning it is good enough. If you can find one still, a dry method head cleaner is better.

As for frequency, that depends on the player. More recent, better quality VHS players have an automatic dry cleaner for the head and do not need use of a cartridge cleaner anywhere as often as the older ones. About once a month or when you start to see signal degradation is often enough.
