surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label.
Maintenance

CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from

• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring
it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove
any water drops with a dry cloth.

on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene, thinner, or
other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc
