If you’ve accidentally scratched your precious PS4 game disc, don’t despair! There’s a simple and inexpensive solution that can help restore your disc to its former glory – toothpaste.
Using Toothpaste to Fix Scratched PS4 Discs
The key to this method is to use a small dab of the gritty type of toothpaste. The gritty texture of the toothpaste can act as a mild abrasive, helping to smooth out and remove light scratches from the disc’s surface.
Here’s how to do it:
Start by getting your finger wet. This will help the toothpaste spread more evenly across the disc.
Apply a small amount of the gritty toothpaste directly onto the scratched area of the disc.
Gently wipe and move the toothpaste into the scratch, using circular motions.
Rinse the disc under cool, running water to remove any remaining toothpaste.
Dry the disc thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
It’s important to be gentle during this process, as too much pressure or abrasion can potentially cause further damage to the disc. With a little patience and the right toothpaste, you can often restore a scratched PS4 disc to a playable condition.
