Instructions On How To Fix Scratched CDs Using A Banana

 

 Scratched Discs are a common problem. The content is there, it just can't be read by the laser since a few etchings from a gravelly driveway or counter-top have distorted the plastic. Since you're in the kitchen, why not avoid a chemical DVD repair kit and alternatively go with this tech home-remedy: the banana CD scratch fix.

Bananas are a common fruit, high in potassium and carbohydrates. But who knew they can also fix plastic surfaces? Here's how it works. The main problem with a scratched Disc is a blemish - an abrasion that has made the plastic not smooth anymore. When the laser hits the scratch, it bounces all over the place and the Disc skips and here's where the banana scratch remover comes into play.

The banana CD scratch remover is a great tool for this task, because a banana has a soft, wet paste (the banana flesh) with a smooth, waxy scrubber (the peel). Read on for the details. Step 1 is to locate a banana. Ripe is better, but any one will do. Step 2 is to peel the banana and remove a part which you can hold in your hand.

Take this piece and rub it in a circular motion around the disk. The plastic will get messy, but that's ok. Next, once there's a little residue or buildup on the plastic, take the peel and use it to 'polish' the DVD. With small circular motions and some wider paths which go around the entire disk, use the peel to lightly smush the banana against the cracks. The banana and wax mixture will assist even out the surface.

Cleanup is obviously vital here, so take a damp, non-abrasive cloth and remove the banana residue. Then wipe clean and dry with soft, un-moistened cloth. In addition to toothpaste and some other remedies, the banana technique is reported to be effective. It's worth a shot for a few cents and to avoid a trip to the music store to purchase a bottle of chemical cleaner.
