Are you perhaps using brand new tapes?  You will experience a higher than
normal cleaning rate at first with new tapes.  They shed oxide until the
heads polish them a bit.

The other cause for this kind of behavior is if your cleaning cartridge is
used up.  You have been checking the little sheet after each cleaning,
yes?  If you're not sure how many times you've used it, buy a new one and
keep track.
