This is a bad idea. On most modern drives, you clean when the cleaning light
comes on. If you have a DDS drive, cleaning once a month should be
sufficient. If you run TapeAlert, and your drive is not too old, you will
see when errors are occurring -- that also indicates the need for cleaning.

I have DLT, the cleaning light comes on about once a year.
