DVD MAGIC!!!

Okay so I probably just got absolutely sick and tired of having a box FULL of DVDs that we couldn't watch.  With six little people over the last eight years we have gone through our fair share of DVDs.  Some of which we have had to repurchase due to lots of little hands and LOTS of scratches!!  Earlier today I said to my husband we need to spend a day going through all of these DVDs and figure out which ones we can still use.  We can get a skip dr. and try to fix them and see how many we can save.  (oh yeah like let's just add that to our great idea but never gonna happen list let's get real you have six small children)

I was trolling the web for some ideas to see what may save my sanity as well as the DVDs!  Well I have gotta say I have found a MIRACLE for DVD revivals!!

So how many of you like me have a box or case FULL of scratched DVDs??  Nothing is worse than having your kiddos favorite movie skip and trying to explain why it isn't working and WHY you CAN'T make it work.  Once all of the tears and crying settle have you ever went out and bought another one???

I PROMISE you won't be sorry to try this!!  I have saved 10 DVDs so far that we haven't watched in years.  So many years in fact some of the very small children have never watched them!!!  I am honestly amazed at how simple and amazing this is!!

Yeah I know I sound like an infomercial and like I am about to try to sell you some oxiclean or ginsu knives!  SHAMWOW!!!

You can actually find the solution possibly right in your own bathroom!!

TOOTHPASTE!!!  YES!!  Well not just any toothpaste, Children's toothpaste.  I read that Crest works very well, but I used Children's Colgate, because we had a tiny tube of it from the dentists office.

Take a few small dabs of it and use your fingers to smear the entire shiny side of the DVD.  Smear it around for a bit rubbing in circles around the entire DVD.  Rub until the paste starts to dry.  Rinse thoroughly under water and repeat a second time.  I do this just to be sure!  For really badly scratched DVDs I repeated a third time.  Dry with a soft towel, I used Viva paper towels, and give it a try.

Tip- you can always watch it first to see where the scratch is and after you follow the above directions put it back in and go right to where the skip was.

I hope this works as well for you as it did for me!!! HOORAY!!!
