How Often to Clean

We recommend that you clean the drive heads every 500 disks, or at least once a month. Sometimes in humid or dirty environments, you will need to clean the heads every 100 disks. If you start experiencing a lot of rejected disks or have other problems, it is always a good idea to clean the heads.

When drives are extremely dirty, you can actually see the dirt on the head. After you remove the cover, you will be able to see reddish-brown spots on the white ceramic piece attached to the moveable head-frame.
