A few weeks ago, we published an article describing several techniques to help you repair a scratched CD or DVD. Here’s another method to add to your arsenal in case the previous ones did not work for you. Please note that Amazon.com also has a great CD repair machine right here that is pretty effective and not too expensive.
The Banana CD scratch remover
What you’ll need:
- A banana
- A banana peel
- Some glass cleaner
- Take a CD / DVD that has smudges and minor scratches on it.
- Using a circular motion, apply a freshly cut banana to it.
- Next, wipe it down with the banana peel (the inside). The wax from the peel will help polish and further clean the disk.
- Take a clean cotton cloth and wipe the entire surface of the CD / DVD. Be sure to apply moderate pressure while moving in a circular motion. This should be done for around 3 to 4 minutes.
- Finally, spray the disc with glass cleaner and wipe it clean.
VoilĂ ! Your scratched CD or DVD should now look like new! Please note that this trick will also help you repair scratched PS2 and Xbox CD’s and DVD’s.
