As an aside, I had an issue with a DVD which was not playing. There seemed to be no obvious scratches, but cleaning with a dry cloth had no effect, despite the surface appearing perfect. In the style of trying anything in desperation, I washed it in detergent and warm water after which it worked perfectly!
