Cancel A Scratch On A CD

Compact discs may no longer be a thing, but that doesn’t mean you cannot preserve the ones you’ve had for so long. Younger generations may not know what they are, but the rest knows how fragile and easily-scratched they are.

If you own an important CD that doesn’t play past a certain point due to a scratch, grab some mild toothpaste from the bathroom and lather it over the scratch with a few drops of water. Use a soft cloth and rub it in tender motions. Then, rinse the disk until the scar is no more. You can replace the toothpaste with Vaseline, chapstick, furniture wax, etc.
