The safest way to clean a CD or DVD is using a compressed air duster. Avoid compressed solvent dusters. The second safest cleaning tool is a soft, lint-free cloth. The third safest cleaning method involves using a soft, lint-free cloth and distilled water to remove strongly attached debris. Soapy water (mild dish soap) can be used to remove greasy debris such as fingerprints. If soap is used, make another pass with clean distilled water to remove any soapy residue. If at all possible, avoid getting discs wet. Liquid solvents and detergents are not recommended. Solvents particularly may erode the disc layers.
When wiping a disc, wipe from the centre of the disc outward in a radial direction (like spokes in a bicycle wheel) to limit the effect of any problematic scratching that may occur. A laser may be able to read "around" a radial scratch in the disc surface, but a curved or spiral scratch could completely obscure parts of the disc if the laser's programmed spiral movement coincides with a continuous scratch.

For a CD use plain water or dish washing liquid and water. Never use any thing with chemicals like ammonia or alcohol. The only way to clean a CD player is to use one of the commercial cleaning discs which are simply a CD with a small brush attached to dust off the laser eye.

cleansing CD's could be performed with a CD cleansing kit or a clean cotton fabric (use somewhat rubbing alcohol too). continuously wipe against the tracks, commencing from the midsection of the CD and wiping in the direction of the outer area of the CD. by no ability wipe with the tracks in a around trend as doing so might upload scratches on the CD.
