Default Do CD cleaning discs actually clean? How?

The cleaning disks DO use a small brush.


I have one I've never used -- or needed to use -- with a brush on the data
side. The disk's TOC positions the brush over the lens.

However, I believe someone made a disk with vanes that blows air over the
lens. I think.

Wow, I guess I should open the package and look at it. I might learn
something, like whether maybe there is a brush or vanes I did look
through the wrapper, but not carefully, since I just assumed it was a
flat CD.

I only paid a dollar at the hamfest and he had a 20 or more, still
wrapeed but no labels. Surplus from somewhere, either because no one
bought them, or they don't work, but possibly ones that do do
something from a company that closed out for other reasons.

G, I live where it's more humid usually, and I guess has more
hydrocarbons than the desert. OTOH, maybe this was in a house with
air filters and the windows never opened.

Plus what Tim said.....

Thansk a lot.
