Does it have mould on it? Why do you need to clean it?
You could just be very patient and clean it by hand - running the tape through a lint free cloth as you wind it back onto the reel. be sure not to stretch the tape as you go.

Is the 'white colour on the tape' actually on the tape itself or on the screen when you view it? If the latter then it could be an indication that the tape deck heads need cleaning, and in the days when VHS tapes were the latest technology you used to be able to buy head cleaners in the normal VHS cassettes and by running them as if they were a VHS tape (which in effect they were) the heads would be cleaned. But if it's on the tape itself then I can't offer any suggestions other than maybe to look forward to much of the same when I eventually get home myself and give in to the urge to watch some of the old collection.
