How to Clean Scratched DVDs how to clean dirty dvd discs

Using Toothpaste All you have to do is take a little bit of toothpaste and rub it on the DVD. Smear it in a circle to make sure that no stones are left unturned. With the help of water, clean the toothpaste. Using Furniture Polish Furniture polish can do wonders when it comes to cleaning DVDs. When using polish, all you have to do is rub the disc with the polish to make sure that every area is covered. Using Repair Kits The kits are able to get rid of most surface scratches on CDs and DVDs. A complete set kit often comes with a bottle of disc repair liquid, a bottle of disc cleaning liquid, and a soft cloth. Using Banana All you need is a banana and nothing else. Slice the peeled banana and smash a couple of slices. Smear the mashed banana onto the surface of the DVD in circles. Next, take out the peel and repeat the same process. Using Vaseline Rub a little bit of the Vaseline jelly on the scratched DVDs. Spray some cleaner or water on the disk and use a soft cloth to remove all the jelly. Do this until no Vaseline and water is left. How to Clean DVDs with Heavier Grime and Stains

Materials You'll Need:

Soft microfiber cloth (or a lint-free, soft cotton cloth) Distilled water (to avoid mineral buildup) Isopropyl alcohol (preferably 70% or higher) Mild dish soap (optional for heavy stains) A soft-bristled brush (optional for stubborn grime) Compressed air (optional, for removing dust) Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:

Dust Off the Surface: Before using any cleaning solution, blow off any loose dust and dirt from the surface of the disc. Use compressed air or gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth in a straight line from the center to the outer edge (never in circular motions). Prepare Cleaning Solution: For mild grime, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with distilled water. For more stubborn stains, you can use a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water (roughly 70% alcohol to 30% water ratio). Avoid harsh chemicals like window cleaners or products with ammonia, as they can damage the disc. Clean with a Cloth: Dampen a soft microfiber cloth with the cleaning solution (don't soak it, it should be damp, not wet). Wipe the disc gently from the center outwards in a straight line. This reduces the risk of leaving streaks or causing scratches. Be sure to avoid circular motions, as these can damage the data layer over time. Dry the Disc: Use a dry, clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe the disc, again working from the center to the outer edge to dry it completely.

It is a good thing to back up physical DVDs by ripping the data somewhere safe. Ripping DVDs to an external hard drive or your computer can be very handy, thereby providing you with an easy way to get back your files in case your discs are scratched. This allows you to skip the usage of physical discs overall. And the best way to rip DVDs is using DVDFab DVD Ripper. The tool is an ideal choice to rip your DVDs, or to convert your DVD to ISO with DVDFab DVD Copy. It can convert any DVD to different formats to save them digitally. The output format is compatible with different devices as well. Below are some noteworthy features of this tool. Have a look.

I'm wondering if we're at the stage where the joke is missed because the average age of users never experienced the CD.

Careful with this meme son, it's an antique.

Oh shit it has MP3 toggle. Sweet.

Last year I spent $787 on Blockbuster charges for not rewinding my DVD's.

With this I could make money rewinding other people's DVDs for a small fee.

I HATE THIS PRODUCT!!!

IT DOES NOT REWIND SACDS!!!

MY PINK FLOYD ANIMALS SACD IS STUCK ON PIGS ON THE WING PART 2 HALLLLP

It is real if it turns counterclockwise. If not, you have to load the DVDs upside down.

Reminded me of the scratch removal services some game stores offered

More likely a joke product

Of course it's a scam. You can easily rewind DVDS in your DVD player. You don't need a separate device.

Do they make a Bluray rewinder too?

DVD-ReWindable

One of the grocery stores in my town also had video rental. When they started carrying DVDs, they put the "Be kind, Rewind" stickers on the cases.

I don’t know about rewind. As a child of the 90’s, you lay that sticky label on there, let your older sibling press the freshly burned disc onto it, and bam, you have a homemade mix CD before Lars can shut down Napster.

As a Metallica fan, I do repent my Napster days, though.

I suspect a few people bought this legitimately. When the CD/DVD revolution happened, a lot of the quattrogenarians spent their entire home video experience inundated with "be kind, rewind" slogans from rental shops. Being fairly frugal and not wanting to pay the extra to have the shop rewind the video for them, they would be obsessed with rewinding a video before returning it. I imagine that some used this unironically to appease their elders into thinking that it was "rewound" before returning rentals. It's useless, sure, but it would have completed the "rewind" step, preventing the unnecessary (and non-existent) rewind fees for mildly dementia ridden elders during the early DVD era. Just having that extra step would appease their need to do it, and prevent complaints and re-explanations that DVDs don't need it.

Just put it on the thing, make it spin backwards for a minute, then package it up. It's useless to explain that you don't have to do that because they won't remember it, and the next time they play a DVD, they'll just be looking for a way to rewind it again.

I’m sure they sell many. People to dumb these days LOL

This cd shaver is totally legit though

I was like I don't see what's wrong with that dvd-rewriter...then I noticed what it actually said.

Good one :)

I had something shaped kinda like this that would "polish the scratches" out of your games/cds. Didn't really work lol

Next you’ll be telling me that the stream rewinder I bought is a scam.
