I bought a cd cleaning kit a long time ago and the cleaning solution is
all gone.  I wonder what other people use to clean fingerprints off
cds.  Do you buy a commercial solution or use something found around
the house?

We use unscented baby wipes.

Personally I always wash them with a small amount of liquid soap in luke
warm water, and dry them with a soft cotton cloth. As far as CD's and DVD's
are concerned I fail to see why people should pay money for 'special
cleaning kits'.

that is exactly what we do.  i keep a spray bottle in the kitchen that is
about a 10% liquid soap mix.  spray on/rinse in warm running water and
dry with a microfiber kitchen cloth.  viola!

the special cleaning kits are probably... 10% soap with a 200% markup. ;)

A cleaning solution must not be abrasive, leave a residue, or react with
the polycarbonate even over a period of years.  Most people consider
water, alcohol, and dilute dishwashing detergent safe.

A microfiber cloth is good.  It can be used dry, moistened with water,
moistened with alcohol, or with a couple of drops of dishwashing
detergent in a bowl of water.  Wipe radially to avoid making circular
scratches or smudges.
