Cleaning options
There are a handful of commercial cleaning options on the market, but we've found some home remedies work just as well, if not better. If you're too cheap to spend the bread on a commercial solution, find an alternative around your house.
Baking soda toothpaste
Baking soda toothpaste, huh? Actually, any mild abrasive like furniture polish, Pledge, or plastic polish works fine for removing CD scratches. Just take any lint-free cloth, add some of the abrasive to the afflicted area, and then wipe. Make sure to wipe from the center of the disc to the rim in a straight line. Never wipe in a circular pattern.
This only works on minor scratches, but I found the results were OK. While it does not work well in bringing back heavily scratched CDs from the grave, it does help to stop CDs with light to moderate scratches from skipping.
Finally, use baking soda toothpaste with as few additives as possible. Some of the gel-based baking soda toothpastes tend to leave a sticky film on the CD, which requires a bit of effort to remove.
Car wax
Another home remedy I tried was car wax. Unlike polishes, waxes fill in the cracks or scratches. Just pour or rub the wax on a scratched area and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth from the center to the rim.
I didn't experience the greatest results, but it could have been the car wax I was using, liquid Turtle Wax. Some people testify that this works, but I believe you may have better luck with a Carnauba-style car wax. If you don't have access to car wax, you can try furniture wax like Pledge instead.

Go get some toothpaste and lightly spread it on there. Make sure there is a good even coat. Dont worry if you put too much on it, take a soft wet cloth and wipe it off. The cracks will be filled and it will run perfectly.

you may scrub the exterior stains out with the cleansing attatchment of a carpet cleanser utilising the comparable purifier. yet another element you ought to do is spray a nil.5 and 0.5 solutionof white vinegr and water onto the section and scrub with a toothbrush. Like I reported nonetheless, it relatively is basically floor cleansing it. The urine soaks in the process the entire mattress and ruins it. it is going to ought to get replaced. an option in case you will no longer be able to have sufficient money one directly, it to bathe it as clean as you may with the vinegar and then enable to dry interior the solar for an afternoon, status on its area to permit air to flow by way of it. purchase a sort of vinyl sipper covers to greater healthful over the mattress so which you do no longer smell the stench. in the past putting the disguise on, sprinkle baking soda over the actual.

What I do sometimes is run it carefully under water and wipe it with a cloth.
