Which ones are the best? What's the point?
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

There's also the equivalent for optical drives, those CDs with little brushes on them that are supposed to clean the laser lens.
For a VCR it doesn't really seem necessary, the magnetic head rotates against the tape at high speed and I doubt much of anything builds up on it.

I just don’t get fingerprints on stuff. You mentioning those makes me feel I need to tell you about how I sometimes borrow dvds from my library and how brutal it is getting home, opening them up and seeing the absolutely disastrous amount of fingerprints people leave on these things. Scratches too, people are brutal to those dvds.
I always clean them up but I feel as though it is a losing battle.

I've definitely had devices stop reading optical discs and maybe that would solve it. Our Wii U doesn't read any Wii U discs any more well enough to play the games, just Wii ones. Different laser I think.

Just let a Russian dwarf hamster loose in your VCR and it will dust and clean as it scurries through out.

Allow me to explain this GIF: "Video Head Cleaner" used to be a code word for poppers inhalants, alkyl nitrites, typically snorted to intensify orgasm.

Alkyl nitrates? Do those got alcohol?
I thought the ones you want are amyl or something spelled similar. The ones with alcohol are supposed to be responsible for blindness so you don’t want those. This was all explained to me by Koods a few years back.

I once met a couple did those nitrate inhalants. They were drunk at the time too. It was hella akward to say the least. Made them extra drunk. I had to pass on that offer.

Pretty sure we had a SCOTCH brand tape head cleaner. I can still hear the "left/right channel" signal in my head. Pure nostalgia, bro. Keep your VCR clean.
