You’re watching a DVD, you are three quarters of the way through the movie, the plot is just starting to thicken - and the DVD starts to skip. What do you do? Do you stop watching the DVD, wait for the movie rental store to open in the morning and start the whole process tomorrow? Or, do you try to repair the DVD?
In home DVD repair is simpler and quicker than some may think. To repair a scratched DVD, you need furniture polish (the type that comes in an aerosol can) and a lint free cloth, such as a jewelry cleaning cloth. Hold the DVD with the label facing the floor and spray furniture polish on the side facing you. Rub the polish in with the lint free cloth, using a circular motion. Keep rubbing until the polish has dried and there are no streaks left. Put the DVD in the DVD player and it should play!
Alternatively, you may want to try DVD repair at home using dish soap and a lint free cloth. This method is very similar to the furniture polish method, in that you are going to rub the dish soap into the damaged DVD using a circular motion. It is recommended that the dish soap is rubbed into the DVD for approximately 35-40 seconds. Rinse the DVD under warm water and then dry the DVD using your lint free cloth and a circular motion. After the DVD has dried and there are no streaks or water specks, try playing the DVD.
If neither of these methods work, you may have to break down and purchase a new DVD or a DVD cleaning and repair kit. Repair kits are available at major retailers such as Best Buy, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart and Target, as well as online at shops such as Amazon and Ebay.
Keep in mind that even though most scratched DVD’s are able to be repaired at home, you can avoid scratches entirely by keeping your DVD collection away from children and pets. Also, be sure to place your DVDs back in their cases after each use!
