My PS2 won't read discs cuz it's dirty. Is there any way to clean it other than buying a cleaning disc.

Go to CVS or some other discount pharmacy and buy a $2 eye-glass cleaning rag. They're soft and can be used safely. Or wipe the discs on the legs of your jeans like I do.

PlayStation 2 Disc Read Error Fix
written by Robert Heron on Monday, September 15, 2003
Don't throw away your PS2. Fix those errors with these simple steps.
Page 1 2 3 4 About a month ago, I noticed that my aging PS2 would no longer read DVD video and audio CD discs. I tried using a laser-lens cleaning disc as well as upgrading my DVD software, but my PS2 continued to report the dreaded "disc read error." With PS2 repair jobs costing about as much as a new unit, I was determined to find a (hopefully free) fix.
After scouring countless online sources and finding little useful information, I came across a message board posting that suggested the problem may be related to an internal adjustment gone awry.
The result is that the disc read errors (DREs) are gone, and my PS2 is now as snappy as the day I pulled it out of its pretty blue box.
If a once-working PS2 has suddenly developed a case of the DREs, there is a good chance it can be fixed.
Achtung baby!

If a disk is dirty, simple just get a little bit of water and wash off the finger prints, although It wont rid the scratches. After wiping the disk, wipe the water off outward and the disk should start working (unless it's really scratched up)
