This maintenance should include your compact discs or CD. If you use it to store your significant memories like important letters, pictures or home videos, then you must do everything to make sure that they will indeed last a lifetime that you can look back on even when you are already old and grey. They will be a great piece of your life that can be handed down from one generation to another. Surely, your offspring will thank you for such a prudent thought.
The next few paragraphs will explain in detail the essential ways you can make your compact disc last longer. Read them carefully so that you can follow them to the letter and reap the benefits without much effort.
The first thing that you should do is to keep your fingerprints off the bright and shiny surface where the information is encoded. If you can't help but hold the CD, then hold only the outer edges. It is easy to guess when you broke this cardinal rule because you will immediately see the evidence in the shiny surface. You prints will be all over it.
Also remember that when you put down your CD, keep the shiny side up. It is also vital that you store it in a protective sleeve before and after use. Even if you are in a hurry, please be careful not to bend the CD because doing so will damage the entire thing.
Next, if you want to clean the compact disk, use a soft cotton cloth. Cotton is the perfect material because it easily absorbs dust and other particles that might have settles on the surface of the CD. It can also eliminate hard to remove spots without causing undue damage. Always be conscious of how you clean your CD. It should be from center outwards. Avoid wiping in a circular motion because it is not the correct way of cleaning.
If you can see that there are light particles like a hair strand, gently blow on the disc, just enough to let the strand fly away.
Third, original CD cases should maintain their function as the original protector of CDs. If you lost them or they got broke for whatever reason, just purchase a few pieces from the local music bar. It is actually quite cheap. You also have to make sure that your CDs are kept in an upright position not only for easy reference but also because it is the ideal position to store them. If you are confronted with the problem of sending a CD through the postal system, don't hesitate. For as long as you have a well padded envelope or bubble wrap to shield it from hard bumps during transport, it will arrive to its destination in one piece.
