Repairing Scratches on DVDs & CDs: A Guide for Busy Moms

In summary, there are a few different methods for repairing scratches on DVDs and CDs. These include using a commercial disc repair kit, toothpaste or baking soda mixed with water, or rubbing alcohol. It is important to handle discs carefully and avoid using abrasive materials. Repairing scratches should not affect the quality of the disc, but if the scratches are deep or cover a large portion of the disc, there may still be playback issues. It is not recommended to repair rental or borrowed discs, and whether it is worth repairing old or damaged discs depends on their value and the severity of the scratches. To prevent scratches in the future, handle discs carefully, store them in protective cases, and consider purchasing a disc repair kit or protective sleeves.

I know there is a way to fix scatches on DVDs. What is it? My boys like to switch movies and don't always take care of them. They have a scratch on their CARS movie. Also, is it the same on CDs? Thanks!
 
I think you can go and buy some stuff that will fix dvds/cds at the store but I am not 100% positive.
 
Use Pledge and a soft cloth. Works great on both CDs and DVDs!
 
I agree with Janice it works great.
 
Hi there! I'm a Pampered Chef consultant and I would be happy to share some tips with you on how to fix scratches on DVDs. One of the easiest ways is to use a soft cloth and some toothpaste. Simply apply a small amount of toothpaste onto the cloth and gently rub it onto the scratched area in a circular motion. Then, rinse off the toothpaste with water and dry the DVD with a clean cloth. This should help to fill in the scratches and make the DVD playable again. This method also works for CDs. Another option is to use a specialized DVD scratch repair kit, which can be found at most electronics stores. Hope this helps and happy movie watching!
 

1. How do I repair scratches on my DVDs and CDs?

You can repair scratches on DVDs and CDs using a few different methods. One option is to use a commercial disc repair kit, which typically includes a solution and a special cloth for buffing out scratches. Another option is to use a small amount of toothpaste or baking soda mixed with water to gently polish the scratches. You can also try using a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth to wipe away minor scratches. Remember to always handle discs carefully and avoid using abrasive materials or wiping in a circular motion, which can cause further damage.

2. Will repairing scratches on my DVDs and CDs affect the quality of the disc?

In most cases, repairing scratches on your DVDs and CDs will not affect the quality of the disc as long as you use gentle methods and avoid causing further damage. However, if the scratches are deep or cover a large portion of the disc, the disc may still skip or have playback issues even after being repaired.

3. Can I repair scratches on rental or borrowed DVDs and CDs?

We do not recommend attempting to repair scratches on rental or borrowed DVDs and CDs. These discs often have a protective coating that can be easily damaged, and attempting to repair them may violate the terms of your rental or borrowing agreement. It is best to contact the rental or borrowing company for a replacement disc if it becomes too damaged to play.

4. Is it worth repairing scratches on old or damaged DVDs and CDs?

This ultimately depends on the value of the disc and the severity of the scratches. If the disc is rare or has sentimental value, it may be worth attempting to repair the scratches. However, if the disc is easily replaceable or the scratches are too deep, it may not be worth the time and effort to repair it.

5. How can I prevent scratches on my DVDs and CDs in the future?

To prevent scratches on your DVDs and CDs, always handle them carefully and avoid placing them on rough surfaces. Keep them stored in protective cases when not in use and avoid touching the shiny side of the disc. You can also consider investing in a disc repair kit or purchasing protective sleeves for your discs.
