Removing Labels

[Freddy735]

Does anyone know what the best/easiest way to remove labels off of a burned DVD is??

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Fredy735, Try filling a spray bottle with warm soapy water, spray the label and let the water sit for a couple of minutes. Then gently peel off the label, the warm soapy water should loosen the label adhesive with out damaging the DVD itself. After you might want to clean the burn't side again just to be sure non of the soapy water got on it and dried which might leave it unreadable due to soapy residue. Hope this helps

even if i used labels and wanted to remove them i wouldn't do this, but a member once used wd-40 on about 200 discs and had no problems at all.

although labels look pretty they can/will give problems

For those who want to remove your labels. There is a mild solvent called Goo Gone sold almost everywhere. Its citrus base and made to remove tape type glue. Just soak the paper label with it. Give it 5-10 minutes. It should pull off. Goo Gone won't hurt the dvd plastic. Just re-clean as you normally would any dvd afterward.

Let us know of your success ;>}
