How To Remove Netflix DVD Labels
I would like to preface this by saying that I have personally used this method successfully many times, however use it at your own risk. If anything at all goes wrong, that's your problem - not mine. Anyway, now that we got the disclaimer over with, let's begin.
Netflix, my favorite DVD rental company, recently started putting little white circular stickers on their DVDs to help make things more efficient. That's all well and good, but certain ancient DVD players (such as the one in my laptop) have a hard time with the slight difference the sticker makes and refuse to play DVDs that have them on.
Here's the easiest way I know of to remove them.
Materials:
Tweezers (don't use your girlfriend's - get your own)
Goo Gone (I like the spray gel form available at Walmart and other retailers)
Sink or water bottle
Disposable tissue or toilet paper
Disposable paper or plastic plate
Directions:
1. Put the DVD onto the disposable plate.
2. Apply Goo Gone to the sticker on the DVD.
3. Let it sit for two or three minutes.
4. Wipe off the Goo Gone with a tissue or some pieces of toilet paper.
5. Holding the DVD in one hand and holding your tweezers in the other, slide one side of the tweezers between the sticker and the DVD.
6. Squeeze the tweezers shut and gently pull the sticker off.
7. Put the DVD back onto the disposable plate.
8. Apply more Goo Gone to make sure any sticky residue is removed.
9. Wash the DVD and then dry it with some more tissue or toilet paper.
10. Enjoy your movie.
It's important to use a disposable plate so that the surface underneath your DVD (such as a wooden table) isn't damaged by the Goo Gone. The purpose of the Goo Gone is to loosen the sticker from the DVD and remove the residue the sticker leaves behind. And using tweezers is much smarter than using your fingernail. I learned that the hard way.
Anyway, hope that helps. Please comment if you find this information useful.
