Trash Bag Idea:

Save money on trash bags by reusing plastic grocery bags. Use them in all your trash cans. To keep them from slipping down, affix a plastic, self-adhesive hook to both sides of the inside of the trash can. Hang the shopping bag from the hooks

How to Clean CD Player Lens


1. Turn off the CD player and unplug all the cords and cables connected to and from it. 2. Detach the top cover of the CD player. Get an appropriately sized screwdriver to remove all the screws attached to the CD player cover.
3. After unscrewing, keep the cover and the screws in a safe place so you can retrieve them easily after you finish cleaning the lens.
4. Look for the CD head or the lens unit of the CD player. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a dark box made of plastic that contain glass lens, usually color blue. You should be able to locate the lens because that is what you need to clean.
5. Get a cotton swab or a q-tip and some isopropyl or rubbing alcohol. Now, dampen the cotton swab using a small amount of alcohol. Clean the lens by gently swabbing the q-tip across the glass lens. Make sure to do this very softly and gently as lenses are very sensitive.
6. Afterwards, get another dry cotton swab and use it to wipe the lens from corner to corner. The dry cotton swab will absorb all the moisture left when you earlier swab it with alcohol. Do not stop wiping the area unless you are already certain that the lens is completely dry.
7. Get the top cover of the CD player and the screws. Reattach it to the CD player by perfectly realigning and tightly screwing the head bolt screw back into the player.
8. Once you are sure that you have properly put the cover back, connect the plugs and cables to the CDs. Plug the cord and turn on the CD player. Play the CD you used earlier that experienced skipping. The CD should not be skipping this time.
