I was placing a game back in its gamefly envelope and removed the sticky portion of the envelope that seals it. I then accidentally tipped the envelope over and the game slid out sticking it to the sticky substance on the envelope. I removed the DVD but paper and a sticky substance was now on the "sensitive" clear part of the DVD. I ran hot water and used soap but it didn't come off. Does anyone know of any chemicals that might work without damaging the DVD?

Try baby oil or cooking oil. Soaked a q-tip or a corner of a tissue paper and gently rub on the spot then wipe it with a clean q-tip or tissue paper. Depending on how much sticky stuff is on the disk, you might have to repeat a couple of times. It's gentle enough without chemical. Good Luck!

Try the dishwasher heavy load, or the washing machine gentle cycle or course. Rent the same dvd from blockbuster and replace it with that one. When you get the dvd from blockbuster, make sure to pick the case in the very back, it may not have been used that much. I hate it when you rent something from there and it skips. No seriously, try Wd 40. for real.

the most sensitive side to chemicals is the printed side because the lens reads through the clear part to the aluminum film under the printed label. if you are careful lighter fluid will soften the adhesive enough to clean it. DO NOT get the fluid on the printed side and if you do wipe it off immediately.

a gentle chemical would be witch hazel. I don't think it would hurt the DVD and I know it would get a sticky residue off.

The solvent acetone, the primary ingredient in nail polish remover, will do the job without harming the CD

Use a product called "Goo Gone". You can find it at any Walmart. Its a bit oily, but the oil makes it gentle. Much more gentle than rubbing alcohol.
