Cleaning and repairing CD's and DVD's

Vinod R on Oct 23, 2016Please clean it from center out, NOT in a circular fashion. A little bit of plain water will do the trick. Dip a soft cloth/cleaning cloth and squeeze dry then clean as suggested above. Better not to use solvent or alcohol as it may react with the surface of the DVD/CD.Helpful Reply

Mary Mosher on Oct 23, 2016I know it sounds crazy, but to help with scratches, you can use toothpaste. Just the white regular type, not jel or striped etc. Rub it gently into the scratches, then wipe with a damp soft cloth. On another note ... also works to take the "fog" out of car headlights!Helpful Reply
