ABSTRACT:
A non-abrasive disc cleaner is disclosed. The present cleaner incorporates a base, a cover, a cleaning solution reservoir, a spin pan and a spinner means with a drive spindle for spinning the disc within the spin pan. Solution is supplied to the spin pan from the reservoir. A spinner is mounted within the cleaner, and the spin pan is horizontally positioned within the base above the reservoir. The disc is positioned with respect to the fluid within the pan with the spinning motion of the CD creating froth which forms a high surface area, thin skin of bubbles on the CD. Because of the spinning motion, the bubbles move outwardly and the CD is dried by air contact. Spinning the disc rapidly above the surface of the fluid causes a vacuum to draw the fluid upwards for frothing, or spinning the disc within the fluid froths the cleaning fluid and centrifugally removed the fluid from the pan.
