Apply furniture polish to help prevent DVDs from skipping.
Once your favorite DVD begins to skip, you may become irritated. When you inspect the DVD carefully, you more than likely will find out that it has several scratches. If you notice scratches on your DVD, repair it yourself with furniture polish. Although you cannot remove all the scratches on a DVD, a light coating of your preferred furniture polish will result in improved performance. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Clean the DVD to remove dirt and debris. Do not touch the surface of the DVD with your fingers. Hold the DVD by placing your thumb through the center hole and place your fingers on the outer edge.
2. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel in rubbing alcohol. Wipe the surface of the DVD in a back-and-forth motion instead of a circular movement.
3. Place the DVD on a flat surface so it will air-dry. Allow it to dry completely.
4. Place a damp cotton cloth on a flat surface. Wring out as much water as possible. The damp cloth will keep the DVD from sliding around. Sit the DVD on the damp cloth with the shiny side facing toward you.
5. Shake the furniture polish can, and then spray lightly onto the DVD.
6. Rub the polish from the center hole to the outer edge of the DVD, using a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
7. Place your thumb through the center hole and pick up the DVD. Hold the outer edge of the DVD with your fingers, and wipe the label side of the DVD dry with a clean cloth.
8. Rinse the DVD off with cold water. Dry the DVD with a clean, lint-free cloth, starting from the center hole and working your way down to the outer edge.
9. Store the DVD in its jewel case or place it in a DVD player.
