Hello,
I have a problem with my old classical music CDs. The fine foam that was supposed to protect them has decomposed and is sticking to the CDs: do you have a solution to clean this? It's not affecting playback, it's on the top. There are pieces of foam stuck on them.
Thank you.

Hello
I recommend using a gentle solvent
such as isopropyl alcohol (apply, let it act, and clean)
do not use acetone as it is too aggressive.
if the alcohol is 90% dilute it in water 70% water 30% alcohol

Hi,
Maybe with white vinegar?

Hello and thank you for your suggestion: I tried it, and indeed it’s abrasive, but it also removes the glossy layer. Well, if I don’t have any other solution, I’ll stick with this suggestion! Thanks again.
