It'll scratch the laser. Instead, he said to use Windex on a long Q-Tip and just wash the laser. Be sure to unplug the unit first, of course! Use a compressed air to blow out any dust in the unit. I think he's right. I had two DVD's in a row stop working correctly right after I used a store-bought DVD disk cleaner.
