A cleaning device is for cleaning a rotary magnetic head (104) of a magnetic recording and reproducing device (207), and includes a cleaning member (1) which is movable into and out of contact with the rotating magnetic head (104). The cleaning device is activated through the operation of a manually operable operation button (201, 212), and under the control of an electronic control device (200 to 204), the cleaning member (1) is automatically brought into contact with the magnetic head (104) to clean the same. The operation of the cleaning device is carried out in associated relation to an operation of a tape loading mechanism (103, 109 to 120) of the magnetic recording and reproducing device (207). The height of the cleaning member (1) is changed when it is contacted with the magnetic head (104), so that the portion of the cleaning member to be contacted with the magnetic head is changed. |
