How Do You Clean Your CD's?

I use static control cloths from the place where we purchase our eyeglasses. They either come with my glasses or are free when I stop by. When I pick up a used CD that looks like a pizza pie, I clean it with hi-grade electrician's alcohol.

I have never cleaned a CD, and i've been playing them now for 15 years. I've never cleaned a CD player either.

A blast of canned air for effective dusting. Soap & water for fingerprint smudges & then clean terry-towel dry, wiping from inside to outside radially.

I breath moist air on them, then wipe them with the cleanest T-shirt I can find...that's within reach of me. Where are Megasam and RegBlazer when we need them? Now THEY know how to clean CDs.

Blueskygolf, zippers are just as damaging as buttons if not more so.

Sc53, I must admit to running a CD cleaner in my transport every few weeks. It's actually cleared up some graininess. I imagine the laser has a tough time weaving in and around those lint balls. Refraction anyone?

I use a Discwasher rotary cleaner (don't think it's available now-but Radioshack or your local CD store sells a similar kind of product for about $15) which I may have to replace shortly as I'm on the last of the replaceable pads. You spray the disc with a cleaning solution, which is isopropyl (sp?) alcohol based, insert it, and crank away. Wouldn't be without one, especially for used CD's and rental DVD's. Then I treat 'em with Auric Illuminator.
