I hope I don't offend any wayward invironmentalists on their way to a meeting of the Sierra Club....Mount your reel tape on a movie film cranking rewinder.
Common brands are Craig, Kodak, Keystone... etc...
These are manually operated cranks that will wind film (or audio tape) back and forth between full and empty reels like this...O~~~~O
Grab the tape between thumb and index finger with a clean lintless cloth that is damp with carbon tetrachloride. Then crank the tape slowly, thereby cleaning the tape.
Points to remember are:
Keep advancing the cloth to a clean spot as it becomes discolored.
Crank slowly to allow the Carbon Tet a chance to evaporate BEFORE it winds up on the opposite reel.
Probably best to do this in a highly ventilated location and wear gloves.Please observe all other safety precautions that one normally learns in life.

p.s. oh yea...don't forget to rewind the tape back to it's feel reel with tails OUT. *hehe*
