To review other cleaning solutions I have seen...

For film, fast evaporating liquid is used to wash away any contaminants.

Since 1983, PEC-12, Photographic Emulsion Cleaner has been trusted by  
the world's most prestigious photographers, labs, museums and  
publishers. Not only does PEC-12 routinely save many of their most  
valuable images, but it is the ONLY archival cleaner available. What  
good is cleaning an image today, only to have the emulsion slowly  
deteriorate over time? PEC-12 is a non-water based film and print  
cleaner which removes virtually all non-water based stains from color  
and B&W slides, negatives and prints. PEC-12 removes grease pencil,  
adhesive residue, finger oils, ball-point pen, fungus, smoke & soot  
damage, laser separation oil and most permanent inks. Containing no  
water, PEC-12 dries instantly with no emulsion swelling and leaves no  
residue.

But I don't know of anyone who has cleaned magnetic tape with liquid.

It does seem that Pellon tape is the most common cleaning method.
