Listening to on cassette thread.

When you guys acquire a cassette/cassettes, do you just take your chances and put them straight in your deck? I guess I'm asking because used tapes can be quite dirty even if the shell is in great shape and I'm sure dirt/particles come off the tape itself and remain in the deck, and I don't know if there's a way to clean tapes or not.

I was tempted to buy a cheapo deck strictly for running the tapes through a FF and Rewind cycle before putting them in my Nak.
