VHS, VCDs, and Laserdiscs in Southeast Asia
I guess I see that now. I didn't have any idea that such a thing existed.
Why would someone want to clean a VHS tape? It's full of data, and it's deliberately lubricated.

The same reason you may need to clean anything. A tape may get dirty any number of ways. It's a physical object that can get dust and dirt inside if it's ever exposed to a dirty environment. And you don't want to put a dirty tape into a player.
