Cate in NZ Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I feel almost embarrassed posting this query, but I just know that someone out there will help me. I've just found (eventually, after days of searching) my favourite Christmas CD under daughters bed, covered in all kinds of revolting sticky stuff. She used it over a year ago as part of a dance project at school and the rotten child never returned it to me, and of course I forgot to ask her for it. Anyway, it's back, and I'd love to play it as it's got some of my favourite Christmas songs on it, but it needs cleaning first. What can I safely use on a seriously sticky CD to clean it without damaging it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I frequently have to wash DVDs that the boys have covered in jammy finger prints - I just rinse them in warm water, and occasionally a bit of liquid soap, followed by a drying with a tea-towel. Doesn;t seem to do them any harm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Same here - warm soapy water seems to do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks all. I did think about plain simple soap and water but worried that I might damage it somehow with that. Off to give it a gentle soaping and then I'll be rocking under the Christmas tree, drving home for Christmas and waiting for that darned Spacemn to come travelling Merry Christmas Everybody....... now was that Slade or Wizzard . Gotta get that CD on and find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The coating on CDs is not easy to damage other than scratching Make sure you dry them from the centre out to the edge so if you do scratch it it is less likely to jump its the way the laser reads it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
