Dear LPG,

Have you ever put a ‘glitchy’ DVD into your disk recorder; a DVD that either sticks or stops half way through the film. You can often see the smudges and smears on the actual side of the disk that is supposed to play, which is when most people buy a disk cleaning kit.

The last time it happened to me I used fairy liquid and a very gentle version of my dish-washing technique, I then left it on the draining board and when dry, it worked perfectly.  Why not try it... with an old one first?
