The owners manual for my new car says that I must clean the cassette

OR it can become too dirty to clean!!!! Is that true?

The car is from 2004 and i'm guessing it's never had its cassette drive
cleaned, but it plays fine. May i wait another 13 years?

Alcohol & cotton bud. head & whatsit first, rubber roller last. Drying properly is necessary. You can neglect it but sound quality will really suffer.
