Scared of losing the most important data stored on a CD/DVD? Does your CD/DVD skip a lot and malfunction inside the player. Henceforth you will not regret storing your precious data on a CD/DVD, here’s how you dismiss minor scratches off your disc in the cheapest and fastest way possible to make it live longer.

We have 2 methods to eliminate scratches:

1. Toothpaste Method
2. Banana and Banana Peel Method

Toothpaste method:

Apply toothpaste on the data side of the CD/DVD from the center to the border and back in (not sideways and spirally). Leave it for 5 minutes. Then, place the CD/DVD in running water to wash off the toothpaste. Now, gently wipe the CD with a soft cloth and remove the toothpaste residue.

Notes:

• Do not use toothpastes with gel (gel toothpastes)
• Do not use toothpastes with color
• Do not use toothpastes with additives. These do not help at all.

Banana and Banana Peel Method:

Take a freshly cut banana and apply it on the data side of the CD/DVD. Next take the banana peel and wipe the disc down. The wax in the peel cleans it further. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. This has to be done for a few minutes. Next, take a glass cleaner and spray in on the disc and wipe it down with a cloth so that the banana residue is cleaned off.Y ou have done it, you have saved your CD/DVD! The cheapest and a practical way to eliminate scratches from your disc.
