PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the sure recording and reproducing of desired data even at the time of high-density recording and reproducing by forming a cleaning cartridge loadably in an optical disk device, supplying a washing liquid stored in a washing liquid storage means to the optical head of the optical disk device and wiping the foreign matter sticking to the optical head. SOLUTION: The cleaning cartridge 10 is formed in its external shape to the same shape as the shape of the cartridge of the disk and may be loaded in the optical disk device in place of the cartridge. The cartridge 10 has a case 40 of a flat planar shape internally having a space and is arranged with a shutter 41 of the same shape as the shape of the shutter of the cartridge in the case 40. The case 40 is partitioned slender in the internal space by a wall 40A along the end face on the side reverse from the side arranged with the shutter 41 and the space is allocated to the storage tank 42. A system control circuit executes the cleaning treatment of the optical head by urging the loading of the cleaning cartridge 10. |
