I'd advise against that. Dry cleaning cassettes damage the heads because they have too much friction with the heads. I recommend you use a cotton swab dipped in pure 96% alchocol. But, don't forget to clean the capstan and the pich roller. It will have much greater effect on sound than just cleaning the head. I have had some bad experiences with these tapes. You wouldn't want to see an amazing device such as this ruined over a 50p cleaner. Sorry that is my opinion. Regards! I gave you 5 stars!
id say your on a budget mate.....you got a broken walkman for your birthday ????

Not a good idea - this cleaning tape wears the head down.
antunkatona is right.

High pitched sound? That might be a capacitor problem.

I clean using isopropyl alcohol and use a cotton bud to apply and clean the tape head (s)

cheers - well as you can see it's done now lol. The sound isn't great so I'll have a go at the wet clean.
btw remember I said that battery pack hack didn't really work? Well I think I fried something when the batteries shorted :<
