Let me say Do not do it.
Heh. Really?!

For this you will need:
1. Gas stove
2. Soft towel (preferably cotton)
3. A little water
4. Fork
Step 1. Stipulate fork in the CD drive. Need to be inserted two prongs
of fork in the center of your disk. Make sure that fork not scratch
the CD, it should be a smooth and well fixed.
Step 2. Gently heat the disk in a small fire. Should be very cautious,
because one wrong movement could damage the CD. Slowly rotate CD-rom
over the burner to heating equally from all directions.
CD should take the bit in the middle and at the edges, but if CD will
be overheated,it will not work.
Step 3. Boil the disk, then pull CD in warm water for 5 minutes to
bend uneven edges, and cover lid.
Using forks take CD from the water, put it on a towel and wipe smooth
movements from the middle to the edges.
Voilą. The disk again "like a new"
As can be seen, after boiling in water disk is so deformed that even
with strong desire it will be hard to put CD-ROM in CD-Drive. Probably
poor quality CD has been used, or we did some things wrong, whether it
was not wiped clockwise, but perhaps even form of the CD remain
unchanged, data from it will be difficult to retrieve."
If you need to clean a CD use Windex or a mild detergent like Joy or Dawn,
rinse and then dry with a soft cloth."
