Default CD lens cleaners

I've used an impregnated camera lens cleaning cloth very carefully on main
CD (the lens comes out with the tray) but dreading cleaning the kitchen one
as it can't be seen from the outside.

Do they work or are they a con?


They are of NO USE whatsoever. The lens has a little ' wall ' around the
edge of it, which just serves to deflect the brush bristles so that they
only touch the very centre of the lens. I have also had these lens cleaner
discs actually cause damage to the laser, as a result of the brush
bristles getting caught in the cover which surrounds the lens, and pulling
it off.

Cleaning the lens properly using isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud is
not, in most cases, hard to do, but if you don't feel confident to do it,
take it to a professional.
