Here are a few handy tips to clean your priceless collection of CDs and DVD discs.
But before you try any of these methods, remember that the disc media is very delicate and you may unintentionally damage the shiny reflective surface if you are not careful:
1) If dust particles are sticking to the CD surface, use a piece of soft cloth to wipe off the dust. To hold the CD, insert a finger or thumb inside the center hole of the CD or handle it by the edges but never touch the shiny surface.
2) If the DVD surface feels sticky or greasy, mix some baby shampoo in lukewarm water and use cotton or soft cloth to gently rub the CD surface with this solution. Make sure the CD is completely dry (no water drops) before putting it back in the jewel case.
3) If there are fingerprint marks on the CD surface, dip a soft cloth in Isopropyl Alcohol/Ethanol/Methanol and gently wipe the surface. Never use a petroleum-based solvent like Acetone as that will permanently damage the CD surface.
4) When none of the above alcohol-based products are available in the local market, use a bottle of Mineral water to clean the dirty CD surface. Normal tap water has higher concentration of salts that may leave white marks on the CD surface.
5) Always wipe the disc surface in a non-radial back-and-forth motion (from the center hole to the outer edge). Don't follow the concentric circles while cleaning.
6) There are few DVD polish products in the market that promise to repair the scratched surface of CDs and DVDs. I have never used them myself so cannot comment if they really work as advertised.

There are no chemicals to use or special steps to take. Forget about special cleaning sprays or chemically treted wipes. All you need is this remarkable cleaning cloth to remove fine scratches, fingerprints, smudges, dirt and dust from your discs. No other cloth works better to clean CD’s and DVD’s, but you can also use them any other sensitive surface in your home, office or vehicle. They enable you to remove all of the build-up without harming the surface. These cloths are specially designed so that they will never scratch and they are made of the highest quality material available. Just a quick swipe with a damp cloth will leave your discs clean, streak-free and polished. Use them dry for dusting and polishing . Or use the cloth damp for cleaning.
These CD & DVD Cloths also feature unsewn edges. In order to prevent scratching and fraying, the edges of the cloths are thermally welded instead of sewn. There are no rough edges or loose threads to worry about. They are made from a revolutionary thread, comprised of wedge-shaped polyester filaments and a core of nylon. This makes them incredibly soft to the touch and the unique weave of the fabric makes them unbeatable for cleaning. These cloths work so well, they not only remove the dirt you can see, but they also remove 98% of the bacteria and germs not visible to the naked eye. A static charge is also built up when you use these cloths, so dirt, dust and microparticles are actually drawn in toward the cloth, and then held by the fibers. This makes it even easier to clean your CD’s and DVD’s.
