As an optical medium, a DVD is exceptionally well-suited to the rigors of real life. However, discs are not indestructible. Here is some basic information on the care and cleaning of discs.
 

	Handle the disc by the edges.
	Touch the shiny surface where dirt, oil and fingerprints can leave residue. Do not lick. The disc is not flavored.

 

	Store the disc in its case (except when using it) by seating it firmly in the center holder.
	Place discs in direct sunlight, on a heat register, in the microwave or in the toaster like a bagel. Also, do not scratch, fold, bend, "Frisbee" at roommates or family members, use as a coaster, or try to determine its Mohs Hardness Scale number by testing with various implements.

 

	Clean discs with a solution of water and a mild detergent or basic rubbing alcohol.
	Use abrasives, solvents, or highly acidic cleansers.

 

	Use a soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe gently in a straight line from the center of the disc, outward to the edge.
	Get the redbox bar code wet or torn during the cleaning process. Please.

 

If the disc is scratched or damaged, please return to a redbox kiosk and contact us.
