How To Clean A Dvd With A Banana

Information technology happened the other dark — I reached for a honey DVD and was happily watching while snuggling with a blanket when it hit a scrap of a blip. I tried just about everything from fast-forwarding to cleaning to yelling, and nada worked. Before resigning myself to paying for it all over again, I remembered reading somewhere about how a banana tin fix scratches. But does it really work? I simply happened to take an overripe banana waiting on the counter ready to assistance.

Banana vs. the Scratched DVD

When your favorite DVD, CD, or game deejay skips, using a banana is suggested to help seal the scratches, allegedly resulting in a wonderfully happy disk that tin be enjoyed over and over again. To fix, gently rub the flesh of a banana into the disk, and then lightly vitrify with the assistant pare, which fills scratches with its natural waxiness. Once finished, rub with a clean soft cloth in circular movements, and then requite a final smooth with window cleaner. It's that simple.

The Results

I'll be honest — I didn't take loftier expectations. Well-nigh smart reviewers found the banana handling worked like a dream, just when I popped my disk back in the DVD player, information technology was spit dorsum at me faster than I could find the remote to press play. After following the steps a second time, the disk still wasn't reading in the player. In theory the idea is a good 1, but didn't work at all with my DVD.
