How to Save a Scratched CD/DVD

Spray the entire surface down with Pledge. Wait about 10 - 15 seconds. Wipe of Pledge until the product is completely dry. Something in Pledge smooths over the imperfections making the DVD/CD playable again. It is amazing! With 2 girls under 10, we were always having "accidents" that ruined their favorite movies or music. This tip has saved us a lot of disappointment and money.

Thanks for the Pledge tip. Another tip on saving/cleaning scratched CD/DVD's I found in a local magazine was to use a condom. Yip, a condom. Apparently the lubrication on them is just perfect for this application.

Wow! I never knew about this. I was just browsing and stubbled upon this. I have so many DVD's that my 3 daughters 8 and younger have destroyed. Even my GASP copy of "The Notebook" ugh I'm gonna cry. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... I can once again drive my hubby crazy by watching this extremely romantic movie and nagging him about why he can't be more romantic.
