CLEANING DISCS

Finger prints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft
cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect
dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should
remove most
particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the
center to the edge. Never use thinner,
benzine, record cleaner or anti-static spray on
a compact disc. Such chemicals can damage
its plastic surface.
