Caring for optical discs

Store your discs in their original containers to protect them
from scratches and keep them clean.

Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.

Do not apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of, a disc.

Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface can
prevent the optical disc drive from reading the data properly.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold.

To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. The
most efficient method to clean it is to start from the center of
the disc and wipe toward the outward edge (not in a circle). If
necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner
(not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely
before inserting it in the drive.
