Before running off to the store to buy a new DVD, try cleaning up those scratches with peanut butter! This is a cheap method of repairing scratches with something you most likely have in your kitchen cabinet. The oil in the peanut butter can fill in the scratches on the DVD's surface to make it play better.

Apply the peanut butter to the surface of the DVD and rub the towel around the DVD in circles. Don't be afraid to make a mess! You can wash it off later. Do this for a minute or so to make sure the oil from the peanut butter really has a chance to set in.

Wet another towel with warm water and wipe the peanut butter from the DVD. You will probably have to wipe off a little bit, rinse the towel and wipe again several times. Avoid putting the DVD directly under running water.

Put a little bit of soap on a towel with some warm water and clean the DVD surface after all of the peanut butter has been removed. This step is optional but may help if there still seems to be some residue left on the DVD. Rinse the soap from the DVD with another towel and warm water.
