How To Clean Vinyl Records

That’s the correct way to clean 45RPM records. Cleaning vinyl 33RPM recordings takes a lot more, um, effort, as the larger cleaners are very rare and hard to find. As for CDs and DVDs, I’ve had success with the toothpaste treatment, and I’ve also fixed scratched discs with Brasso.

If your media is skipping, take some non-abrasive gel toothpaste or Brasso and wipe it onto the offending disc. Let it dry, then wipe it off radially, i.e.,  from the center outward. This is not a prank as it’s worked for me, especially on rented DVDs.

For you older folks, this treatment does NOT work on VCR tapes, cassettes or 8-tracks.

I notice that our Rec Room Video Library has been enhanced with a bunch of non-returned BlockBuster DVDs. Muchas gracias, but whoever owns the 5 volume set of Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn DVDs (yeah, real funny – we know who you are) may take them back home because we don’t do that stuff here on The Overnight Open Thread.
