+Tape Cleaning
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+LTO tape drives requires regular cleaning. This is done by loading a
+cleaning cartridge into the drive, which is a manual task for
+standalone drives.
+
+For tape libraries, cleaning cartridges are identified using special
+labels starting with letters "CLN". For example, our tape library has a
+cleaning cartridge inside slot 3::
+
+ # proxmox-tape changer status sl3
+ ┌───────────────┬──────────┬────────────┬─────────────┐

+ │ slot          │        1 │            │             │

+ └───────────────┴──────────┴────────────┴─────────────┘
+
+To initiate a cleaning operation simply run::
+
+ # proxmox-tape clean
+
+This command does the following:
+
+- find the cleaning tape (in slot 3)
+
+- unload the current media from the drive (back to slot1)
+
+- load the cleaning tape into the drive
+
+- run drive cleaning operation
+
+- unload the cleaning tape (to slot 3)
