A system comprising:

• a media transport device comprising:
• a media acceptor portal;
• and
• a media travel pathway configured to pass media that is received into the system via the media acceptor portal, and
• a cleaning substrate sized and configured to be inserted within at least a portion of the media travel pathway of the media transport device, wherein the cleaning substrate comprises:
• a cleaning face;
• and
• a handle extending from the cleaning face, wherein the handle is configured to extend from a port that is not the media acceptor portal of the media transport device while the cleaning face is within the media transport device,
• wherein the cleaning face comprises a plurality of cleaning elements, each of which is positioned to align with a belt, a drive roller, an idle roller, a drive roller/idle roller pair, or a sensor of the media transport device when the cleaning substrate is within the media travel pathway.
