In the unlikely event that there is someone STUPID enough to try this,

Let me say Do not do it.

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.

Heh. Really?!

"This is one of the most effective ways of how to repair scratched CD,

disk.

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."

Don't see how you can go wrong with such clear directions.

The fork. Why didn't I think of that fork!

And to think, I've been stipulating toothpaste on my scratched CDs for
years!

I have serious doubts this would work. I wash the disc with
dishwashing detergent. If that does work, my last resort is Brasso
for *very* scratched discs. Wipe from hub to edge only.
