You love listening to your favorite song–just not the same part over and over–that is, if it plays at all. Even the smallest scratch can make a CD unplayable. Whether it skips a segment or an entire song, it is disruptive to the music-listening experience. Instead of throwing your disc away, try repairing the scratch. Here are three unique ways to fix a scratched CD.
If you don’t have a CD repair kit, or you want to save some money, a CD-repair cream is in your bathroom drawer. Toothpaste works wonders on a scratched CD. Take a small amount and rub it into the scratch. The CD won’t look better–in fact, it will look worse, but it will play much better.
Another cleaner hiding in your house is vaseline. Apply this to a clean cloth and rub in a circular motion on the disc. Wipe the disc from the center to the outside. You may have to repeat the process several times.
Bananas are not only a good source of potassium, they’re also good for fixing scratches. Cut the banana in half. You can eat the other half unless you have a box of scratched disc. Rub the banana onto the CD and use the peel to polish it. Remove the excess banana with a towel. Spray on some glass cleaner and wipe again.
These three methods will save your disc and money, unless you have to make a grocery run for bananas. Now you can enjoy your disc again.
