Just an FYI from a person who's had some training in archival and restoration techniques: there is no such thing as non-abrasive tissue paper. The wood pulp used in common tissue paper is very abrasive on a microscopic level. I'm not sure about how damaging such scratches actually are on a DVD/CD, or if such scratches are damaging at all - I think it takes quite a lot of diffraction to cause skipping. But to avoid scratches altogether it's best to use 100% cotton with no impurities (cotton wool balls are good, but they must be 100% cotton).

I just thought it might be good to share the small amount of knowledge I have on this issue, since we gamers use these CDs/DVDs a lot.
