I use Windex to excellent results.
Happy Listening!
Best way to clean my old CD’s
Good afternoon gentlemen my issue is this. I recently completed an extensive kitchen and living room remodel. My CD’s were placed in boxes ( some open top ) and spent the last year in the garage. The original cases are pretty dusty but not the discs. However I want to give them a proper cleaning before I start using them again and would like to know the best method. FWIT I also use a laser cleaner that involves a drop of fluid on a disc that’s inserted into my transport. If there’s a better system please advise on that too. The group’s input is always appreciated. Cheers my Peers, Mike B.

Isopropyl as above works well. i had ordered a big bottle of a commercial CD cleaner from Audio Advisor several years ago. The label, which contained the product name and ingredients, came off a long time ago but I still use the product-a small spray is adequate. I’ve also used the cleaning spray that eye shops sell for glasses. What you want to avoid is some kind of soap like hand soap or dishwashing soap, as they will leave a residue on the disc. This residue can be removed but it’s time consuming |
@rbrowne , I’ve used Brillianize for over 40 years. I started with my plexiglass aquariums , then my motorcycles especially the windshield on my bagger. Today I use it on my big screen tv and my lap top screen. I have a half gallon of it now. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much. I have separate microfiber cloths for my records , I can you those for my CD’s. Thanks for sharing, Mike B. |
Thank you all for the input. I can play with alcohol and distilled water. FWIT I stopped using Windex and went to the aerosol Spray Away as both my cars have polarized window tint and the glass shop said not to use Windex as the ammonia will damage the tint material. However I still use Windex on the house windows , it’s nice to know that it won’t eat the CD’s. Regards, Mike B. |
