Paper towels should not be used to wipe off your discs. Kleenex, toilet paper, cotton swabs... keep those in the bathroom. I understand your desire to grab something quickly to clean off some fingerprints or dust, but discs are not like your kitchen counter or your bathroom floor.

Allsop’s MicroFibre cloth is a synthetic chamois. It almost feels like suede. It’s a washable lint-free textured cleaning cloth. The densely woven material is very soft and very durable and acts like little fingers to grab dirt, sweat and fingerprints and lift them away. That way you are not just rubbing the dirt all over of the disc. If the cloth gets dirty, just wash it. The more you use it, the better it performs.

Just promise me one thing. Promise me you won’t wipe your discs around in a circular motion. Please. Wipe them in a straight line from the inside edge out. If you like to read and you want some more information on discs and proper cleaning of them, check this out.
