Proper Way of CD or DVD Cleaning - Bring Back Dead CD or DVD
Often we feel that our CDs are going to be dead when we see any spot on it. Its not a big problem. The proper way of cleaning your CDs and DVDs is given below:
Cleaning CDs and DVDs should be done with a cleaning kit but can also be done with a normal clean cotton cloth or shirt. When doing this with a clean cotton cloth or shirt, wipe against the tracks, starting from the middle of the CD or DVD and wiping towards the outer side. Never wipe with the tracks; doing so may put more scratches on the disc.
It is recommended to use water when cleaning a CD or DVD. However, if the substance on a CD cannot removed using water, pure alcohol can also be used.
Wax the tracks. If polishing doesn’t work, apply a very thin coat of Vaseline, liquid car wax, neutral shoe polish, or furniture wax to the CD’s playing surface
If using wax, follow manufacturer’s instructions (some need to dry before you wipe them off, while others should be wiped off while still wet).
If the wax or Vaseline does the trick, burn a new copy of the CD immediately. The waxing method is only a temporary solution.
