Best way to clean my old CD’s

I have tried allsorts and they clean well and render audible differences because of what they leave on the disc. So what is needed is something that cleans impeccably. The surface of a CD is relatively hard and non porous. So the answer is o3, if you look on eBay the Spray Units were available for about $20 named maxkare. Perfect for discs and equipment, as long as the water does not come into prolonged contact with organic materials, but on saying that I got some in my eye and could see better the next day. Cheap, Correct and also useful for a Worktop.

Personally, I would not touch the CDs for cleaning unless there is an audible problem.

I found that for problem disks (with heavy fingerprints, etc.) a cheap ultrasonic cleaner made for things like jewelry and glasses can work wonders, if the instructions are followed and it has an adapter for CDs.

For me. the critical instructions are to use warm water and a drop of detergent.  After cleaning ultrasonically for a couple of minutes, rinse under tap water and dry with a microfibre cloth.  Compared with vinyl records, CDs are remarkably forgiving.

Just a reminder that the data layer is just under the label, so that is the side one should be careful not to write on, or to scratch .

I'm with Richard on this , I have never cleaned a CD , unless there was an obvious reason to do so , and they sound no different no matter the number of play. Sit back and listen to the music and don't fret over this.

I agree with those who say leave the CDs alone if they're clean.  If you ever do clean one, it's important that you don't use circular motions, just radial motions with the cleaning cloth.  I have an old Maxell kit that includes a scratch remover, a cleaner and lint-free round cleaning wipes.  You might want to see if you can find one of those.  It actually has worked on audible scratches on a few of my CDs.
