Our field service group has investigated several head cleaning kits and 
concluded that IF used regularly AND properly, they help as a preventative
measure.  They then concluded that we should not reccommend that our 
customers use them, because we don't think both "if's" above can be easily
met in the field.  Especially since the instructions that come with them
generally try to get you to use too much cleaner (usually alchohol) and
use the kits too often.  I recommend the harder, but better, method of
cleaning by hand with swabs and alcohol.
