How To Clean CDs & DVDs

 You may have CDs and DVDs that are precious to you, but sometimes your CDs and DVDs are taken away by your friends. When they are returned to you most of the time they are scratched and now, if they are movies..they skip if they are scratched and if they are PC games the games don't install properly.
   The reason for these problems is not the scratch itself, the reason is there are particles of dust trapped in between the scratches. This method may sound crazy but trust me, it works. So this is how you can remove the unseen microscopic dust particles from your disk safely.

Things you need

Toothpaste
Water
Cotton Cloth

How You Should Do It

Take the scratched disk and wet the scratched surface well, or you can hold it to the tap. But do not touch the surface yet.


Now take out your toothpaste and apply some toothpaste over the scratched disk. Using your fingertips now, slowly apply it in a circular movement all over the scratched disk.

Take a little water and wash away all the tooth paste on the disk or you can hold it to the tap while still washing away the toothpaste in a circular motion.

Once the toothpaste is all removed get the cotton cloth and clean the disk dry until there is not a drop of water to be seen. And you are good to go.

Take Heed

You MUST use a soft cotton cloth or you may end up scratching you disk even more.

Clean and dry both sides of the disk or else you may crash your CD/DVD ROM

Do not leave the toothpaste for a long time or it will damage the disk.
