Cleaning the Disc For proper read and write performance, it is important that your CD-R and CD-ROM discs be clean. Trying to record on a dirty disc may result in a failed session and ruin the disc. If the disc is merely dusty, you may use a commercially available dust removal spray such as Dust-Off or Vari-Air to blow dust particles off the disc. You should not use liquid or chemical cleaners. They may damage the disc and make it unrecordable. After removing the dust particles, you may wipe the disc using a clean, soft cotton cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints. Use a straight-line motion, wiping from the center out.
