摘要

A method of cleaning a film transport unit (5), in which a cleaning leader (80) formed of a synthetic fiber (81) hardened with a resin (82) is transported through a transport path of the film transport unit, and the cleaning leader (80) removes substances adhering to a magnetic head (32a) disposed in the transport path, with said cleaning leader. Preferably, the synthetic fiber is hardened by being impregnated with a resin (82) selected from urethane resin, acrylic resin and silicone resin. Preferably, the cleaning leader (80) is elongated to be an identical or similar shape to a film (2) transported through the film transport unit (5). At least a leading end of the cleaning leader is hardened.
