How to clean a disc?

Well I have a game I want to play but my computer can't read the disc, so I was wondering how could I clean it?

I usually clean mine with either a microfiber cloth or windex and a paper towel.

I would say Windex & a paper towel is probably the best idea.

Well, to be honest, if a normal wipe off of finger prints and the disc still will not read it is scratched heavily and probably can't be repaired easily.

step 1. flush the toilet, step 2. put the disk in the toilet (after its filled back up) shinny side up, step 3. flush the toilet, step 4. grab the disk before the toilet refills, step 5. wash the disk in the sink, step 6. dry the disk off, step 8. put the game in the computer and wallla. the cheapest and most creative way of cleaning a disk.

* the disk will not go down the drain ** will not fix scratches. *** never put wet disk into computer **** i take no responsibility even though this cant hurt your disk ~end

I need to try that toilet thing :-)

You can always buy a disk cleaner, but be careful.
Some are rip offs, and read the box SLOWLY.
Most are for certain types of problems.

I usually do the rubbing alcohol and cotton, like Brer mentioned.
Or I use my shirt sleeve and rub accordingly. XD

I heard if you leave it in the freezer for some hours (3-5 hrs) it will be fixed... but I've tried it and it actually breaks it more. So use the old cotton and alcohol trick.
