of any household cleaner that might would clean some drink off some cd's without hurting them? I have a bad habit that when I am driving, and wanting to reload the cd changer in the truck I just take the cds out and leave them in the console instead of putting them in the cd book, which stays in the back that I cant reach anyway, and today a friend of mine was riding with me and spilt her coke all over the cds that were there... Now they are all sticky.

I use glasses cleaner or saline solution on a rag for my cds when they get smudgy. it might work on the coke.

Now they are all sticky. soapy water with a soft, lint free cloth. that's about it. be sure to handle the CDs at their edges and not at the reflective surfaces, as you'll run the risk of scratching the heck out of them.

Now they are all sticky. You may think this is going to sound silly but it works I swear. coat the CD in water using just your finger. Make sure it is nice and wet. Also make sure you do not get any in the center of the CD as it could seep through and all though it may not wreck the disc it will still take at least 5 hours to make sure it is dry enough to use. OK, then take some toothpaste (yes toothpaste) and smeer that over the CD going in one direction only. make sure it is a plain toothpaste and does not have those crystals in them. As they will scratch the CD. But plain tooth past will also help with any minor scratches that may be on the disc. Lay it flat on a piece of paper towel to dry.

The only type of cloth that wont scratch a CD is silk...but then you'll ruin the silk if you use it to clean the CDS.

lens cloth (you use it to clean the lenses off of cameras and stuff) will not scratch CDs either. you can get them at the camera section of the local best buy or other equivalent stores. they're cheap, too.
