3Cotton ball, Felt material, or in my case, PEC pads (used for cleaning sensitive electronics like a digital camera CMOS sensor). If you are using a cotton ball, just glue the ball onto the CD, then pull and leave some cotton adhered to the CD (it should work the same).
My car cd player was skipping. I was worried that I might need an expensive repair. However I made the DIY cleaner described in this email and it was easy to make and worked fine. No more skips. I used felt that I had around for putting on the bottom of game boards.
For my in-dash CD player, I used the material used for wiping spectacle glasses and I think it works. Just remember it flashes ERROR and ejects automatically. I played the home made version three times before the sides of the material turned blackish due to dust. I am saving the custom CD cleaner & plan to use it from time to time. Thanks in 2015 to BLOGMASTER!!
This worked like a charm. Thank you so much! It worked on my 6 cd changer. It is old but I love my CD changer and I did not want to buy another one. It was stuttering like crazy. After I did the cleaning as you suggested, it started to work smoothly. I am really grateful to you for posting this. Thank you!
Finish Line Bicycle Disc Brake Cleaner is engineered to rapidly clean disc brake rotors and pads to optimize braking performance and prevent brake squeal. Using an acetone-free formula, it decontaminates braking surfaces by flushing out unwanted dirt and oil residue, and melting away baked-on brake glaze. Designed to leave zero residue after application, it displaces moisture built up on pads or rotors. The results are improved and predictable braking, and reduced squeal. Bicycle Disc Brake Cleaner is strong enough to clean the dirtiest rotors, yet safe enough to use on pads and around paint, carbon fiber, and plastic parts.

The ECO-Clean is the only professional dedicated Disc Cleaning Machine in the world. In just 3 seconds (Blu-Rays, 8 seconds), it will clean & dry your discs, making them ready to go back in the case and on the shelf. The ECO-Clean will sanitize your disc collection from the germs & bacteria your patrons and customers leave behind. You can also clean and sanitize BOTH sides of the disc, without damaging the label!!!

NOTE: ECO-Cleans are sold as Factory Refurbished units which include a 1-year warranty. They have been Fully Refurbished by the factory in Japan. The label on the machine may be in Japanese, however, complete instructions in English are included.
We've been asked if the ECO-Clean can kill the Coronavirus, or if we have data and/or conducted testing on this. The short answer is, no...what we can tell you is, the cleaning solution used in the ECO-Clean is 62% alcohol. That is the same as HAND SANITIZER. The CDC recommends you use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to ensure you kill bacteria. We cannot guarantee it will kill the Coronavirus any more than hand sanitizer.
I love my diamond engagement ring so much and I like it perfectly clean! I try to clean it every day. I don''t have an ultra sonic, because I don''t think I need one (maybe I would love the results if I had one though). I clean my ring with hot water, a little palmolive and the spray that Whiteflash sent with it. A week or so ago I was running errands and a friend called to have coffee and I was excited to show her my ring for the first time. I realized though that I hadn''t cleaned my ring that day and I really like it perfectly clean. In my car I have a small bottle of cleaning solution for my sunglasses from Sunglass Hut. It''s a little silver spray bottle that says SGH Lens Cleaner (it still has the $5.99 price tag on it). I sprayed this on my diamond and used my soft t-shirt to dry it off. I noticed that my diamond looked perfectly clean and very sparkly right away and the next day it still looked 100% clean. I''ve used the lens cleaning spray a few more times since and it seems to me like it keeps oils from my hands and lotions off my ring for much longer than dish soap and hot water. It''s like it repels oils and keeps my ring clean. I want to make sure though that it''s safe to use this solution! The bottle doesn''t list the ingredients and I can''t find them online. The bottle only says that it has Isopropanal (which I think is alcohol). Does anyone know if this cleaner is safe to use? My ring is white gold. I spray one or two sprays right on the diamond and then clean it off with a soft cloth.
If you sensor is really dirty, then do like I do. Take the lens off and using gaffer tape affix the camera body to the roof of your car. Drive down to the local car wash and run it through the one that has all the brushes. These brushes and soap will give the entire camera a through cleaning. On the return ride home accelerate to at least 85.6 mph and this will dry the inside out. By the time you return home you will have the most expensive paper weight in the entire neighborhood. LOL
Some things are better left to the professionals to do.

Not all sensors are the same. First of all, lens cleaning fluid is a no-no for any sensor as everyone else has said. And secondly, find out specifically from the manufacturer what cleaning solutions are safe for your specific sensor.
Different sensors have different coatings and even cleaning solutions from the same company are not universally safe. For instance, with Photographic Solutions branded cleaning fluids, ITO coated sensors require the E2 fluid whereas some other sensors are safe with just the methyl alcohol based older Eclipse solution.

WintrHawk: the makers of Eclipse are claiming that after a fair bit of study, it is actually safe on all sensors:
After 2 years of additional research on the effects of Ecliips vs E2 on Tin Oxide coated sensors, we have concluded that Eclipse is every bit as safe as E2 and evaporates twice as fast. ...
As a result, we will discontinue E2

Thanks for the update. I guess that negates my specific example. However, that shouldn't obviate the need for making sure a particular cleaner is safe for a particular sensor. I used E2 because that's what my camera's manufacturer (Nikon) says they use. Additionally it is endorsed by the manufacturer of the sensor itself (Sony in this case). For other sensors and cameras, one should check with the manufacturer.

Why would you? Is it a lens?
I was a bit apprehensive, as I am sure most have been when faced with an f/22 shot of the sky that looks a bit sludgy with shadows in places they shouldn't be.
I had a vacuum cleaner nozle nearby, and used a q-tip. That was silly, but didn't cause damage.
A make-up brush did actually work for a little while, but then dumped more crap back on.
I bought the LensPen SENSOR KLEAR (they make LCD cleaner and lens cleaner, but only use sensor klear for sensors) and gave that a go. Nice clean new rocket blower with no crap coming out (like the giottos ones). That shifted a fair bit.
The pen actually works pretty well. OK, not perfect, but definitely recommended for a quick job to get you shooting again. Bloody cheap too.
I think I may, at a later date, pick up some eclipse, purely because it is soo widely used now, and the results are the dogs dangles - really clean.
But to be honest, unless your shooting pure clean non textured subjects, at f/22 or whatever, and pushing the contrast up unnaturally hard, then you really aren't going to see a lot of a problem.
So the answer is a definite NO
Use Eclipse fluid or LensPen Sensor Klear - this many people can't be wrong.
