Default Do CD cleaners really work?

My '91 has a Bose CD player. I have a hunch there's dust on the laser as it sometimes has a hard time reading some CD's. Just wondered if the CD cleaners were a waste of money. If I could get a long Q-tip in there it might work? :confused:

I'm interested in hearing the answer to this also. Unforunately, when the BLOWS starts doing this, it's normally because the motor in the CD player is going out and it's time for a new system. When it can read the CD, is slow, or you get errors, it's because the motor isn't spinning the CD fast enough.

if your cd player is so messed up it wont read any cds at all, dont be fooled into thinking this will fix it(i did)

it will help a cd player that will still reads cds, but it has to be able to read some optical data on the cleaning cd to work.
