Most manufacturers recommend just wiping the business side of the
CD with a soft lint-free cloth. I think they specifically recommend
that record cleaning solutions *not* be used. This makes a lot of
sense, since you want to preserve the optical properties of the disc
surface, rather than its topographic features. Something I think
I'll try is wiping them with the solution used to clean plastic
eyeglass lenses. However, I haven't had any need so far to go
beyond routine care. If you handle a CD carefully, like a good
camera lens (i.e., keep yer fingers off it), it should not need
cleaning with solvents.

Being an owner of a tape deck for many years, I would recommend
cleaning your tape decks heads and rollers with alcohol and a Q-Tip.
My Nakimichi has performed faithfully under these circumstances
for the last 8 years. I would also recommend demagnetizing the heads
frequently also.
