By Thomas Brinkenberth

Whoever said that taking care of your belongings should be as rigorous as following your daily hygienic practices is definitely a wise man that deserves round of applause. If included as part of a routine, it will become an unbreakable habit that is very effective. Remember that if your stuff is properly maintained, you will make them last longer. Therefore, you remove the need for buying new things every so often. This is just appropriate because the entire world is undergoing a financial crisis that has affected numerous firms and consumers.

Proper care should also extend to your precious compact discs or CDs. Since this is where you store important files, both for personal and office use, it is a must that you must be conscious in making them last a lifetime. Even when you are old and have cataract already, you would still appreciate the fact that you have something nice to look back on. Your grandparents will definitely be grateful that you have taken the effort to preserve your memories in a small piece of semi-metallic thing.

The next few paragraphs will explain in detail the essential ways you can make your compact disc last longer. Read them carefully so that you can follow them to the letter and reap the benefits without much effort.

The first tip requires that you be should be very careful in handling the disc. As much as possible, keep your filthy fingers off the shiny part or else you will damage the encoded information. You have done the unthinkable if you can see prints all over the surface. So, this means that you have to learn how to hold the edges only.

Another essential point to remember is to lay down the CD in a shiny side up position. Keep it in a slim protective sleeve before and after using it. Also take extra precaution not to bend the CD because if you do, you might lose all the data that you have stored in it.

Second, a clean and soft cloth that is made of 100% cotton is ideal to keep the compact disk in a sparkling condition. This is because cotton does not allow any stray material to stick on the surface. It can easily remove spots and light dust that has settled on the shiny part of the CD. Furthermore, fingerprints will be effortlessly eliminated. Keep in mind to clean from the center outwards so as to avoid damaging the surface of the disc.

Now, if you are bothered by minute particles like a hair strand or eyelash, simply blow on the annoying material in a gentle manner. Avoid huffing and puffing like a wolf or else your saliva will be all over the shiny part of the CD like raindrops on a football field.

Third, as much as possible, store your commercial CDs in their original cases. Keep them upright all the time. For the non-commercial discs, cover them with cloth-like cover or regular plastic jewel cases available in various music bars. If you want to mail a CD through the postal system, use a padded envelope or bubble wrapper to ensure that it won't bend or break while being transported from point A to point B. - 18758
