how do i clean my dvd disc?
 

kinda dusty and there are smudges. prob from kids. what should i use to clean the written surface of the disc?

Hellooo Mcfly!! Theres plenty of dvd cleaners everywhere you go, BB Circuit city, Target...etc...They work fine

so there is a dvd cleaner...

uhm.. how'd it go..

Make like a tree and get out of here.
or was it
Make like a tree and leave.

IMHO use a cotton shirt. Those DVD wipe clothes I bought are like sandpaper to my DVDs.

I use water and a microfiber cloth. never had a problem removing dust dirt,fingerprints with it.

A bit of tissue and some Iso-Propyl Alcohol (IPA/Propan-2-ol) which i readily am able to obtain from work more than does the trick for me.

purified water and a microfiber cloth as above.

dont use a terry cloth.

i have a DVD doctor i got as a gift, and IMHO, it does more damage than good. use it only as a last resort for deep scratches.

soap and shampoo. jk.

Boil it for 2 minutes & remove from hot water and allow to air cool.

With soft lint free cloth, wipe outward from spindle in a straight line.

All contaminants should be removed. Voila!

^ yeah, not to mention the information on the disc itself.

Not true. There have been plenty threads devoted to this method. Do a search and see.

I would not steer you wrong.

Toothpaste is sometimes used to fill in scratches on DVDs. I kid you not.

Yes, as Speedy1961 said, there have MANY THREADS asking this same question, did you try a search?? If my memory serves me correctly I think there is even a merged thread somewhere. Here are some thread links which were posted by Speefy1961 in an earlier post - back in August!

You know, search can be your friend - plus it can help save you from threadcraps from people who get frustrated reading the same questions coming around every month or two!!

You could do a search for TOOTHPASTE too!

Good Luck!
