Useful information. Thanks. But rubbing alcohol? I clean CD's with a NON alcohol cleaner because alcohol can harm the CD.
But there must be an easier way to do this?
There may be a difference in the coating between CD's and DVD's,...don't know.
Wonder how we could chase that down and make sure we are getting good info?
The new Blu-Ray discs have some kind of special hardened coat...recording surface is much closer to the surface.
Right, I'd suggest reading up on some archival sites about the problems of using alcohol as a cleaning agent.
Even some soaps have bad chemicals to leave residue with.
Alcohol is nice because it evaporates quickly but it also can dry out a surface (too much).
Distilled water should be good for being a neutral cleaning agent.
