I sell these. Its the only item we ever get complaints about. Either they dont work or the user spills the liquid.

They're absolutely a 90s meme. They can work and on drives where you can't clean the lens easily are ok if your problem is a dirty lens.

On the incredibly rare occasion where your only problem is something on the lens, they work.

You're better off disassembling and cleaning with a q-tip and alcohol but I've used these before to some success.

If you have something on the lens of your CD drive, you usually have piles of hair, dust and god knows what else caked inside of your system.

It usually is pretty bad.
