Summarize the following:
This does not work on all discs. Use a belt sander on the top side of the disc. This should be done in an easy-to-clean area. Soak a cotton pad in pure acetone, then wipe the bottom of the disc with it. It should become frosted and unreadable.

summary: Cover the disc with duct tape, then rip it off. Sand the discs. Wipe with acetone.

To keep your zippers in good shape, you should make sure all the zippers on your clothes are closed before you throw them in the wash. Do up zippers on your pants, your shirts, your skirts, your dresses and your shorts. To make sure the zippers stay closed, you can use safety pins. Loop the safety pin through the zipper slider and attach it to the top of the garment so the zipper stays closed in the washing machine and the dryer. High heat can be damaging to zippers, especially zippers made of plastic. Dry clothing with zippers on low heat and minimize the amount of time the clothing is in the dryer. The tumbling of the dryer can cause damage to certain zippers. You should also take clothing with zippers out of the dyer right after the drying cycle is done so you can lay them flat. Straightening out the clothing and the zipper on a flat surface will prevent the zipper from drying with crooked teeth. This could prevent zipper jams and other issues down the road. Don’t worry too much if there is puckering around zipper after it has been through the wash. Most clothing will shrink a little in the wash and this could cause puckering around the zipper. The puckering is usually not too obvious, depending on the material of the clothing and the material in the zipper. Clothing made with 100 percent cotton is especially prone to shrinkage, which can cause noticeable puckering around the cotton-polyester zipper tabs. You may want to hang dry clothing made of cotton and other materials that are prone to shrinkage, rather than run them through the dryer.

summary: Close all zippers before putting your clothes in the wash. Dry clothing with zippers on low heat. Expect some puckering around the zipper.

If your trash service collects the garbage infrequently, you might worry about it getting stinky with dog poo.  Even when the poo is wrapped up in bags, the scent can be quite powerful, especially in the summer.  You can solve this problem by investing in a smaller, separate trash can specifically for dog waste.  Ensure it has a lid.  Place a liner in it as you would with any other can, but leave it outside, and empty it into your larger trash bin when your trash collection service arrives.  If your trash tends to be relatively stinky even without the addition of dog waste, there is little to be gained from utilizing a separate trash can just for dog waste. If you don't want to dispose of your bagged dog waste in a separate can, place it in your primary garbage bin (the big one that sits by the curb). A pet waste digester is a device that breaks dog poo down into a safe, biodegradable liquid that is then absorbed by your yard.  To use the device, simply drop the waste in the opening, add warm water, and add the digestive agent.  The exact amount of water and digestive agent required depends on the pet waste digester model you have. Installation is relatively easy, but does require you to dig a shallow hole (usually about one cubic foot) in your yard.  This allows the liquefied poo to release slowly into the yard without pooling onto the grass. Always follow manufacturer directions when using your pet waste digester. In its natural state, dog poop is not a good fertilizer, as it contains harmful bacteria and (potentially) parasites.  New technologies, however, allow you to ferment your dog poo using commercially available kits.  The fermentation process will remove the toxic elements and leave behind nutrient-rich soil.  The basic process involves mixing a fermentive accelerant, a dry mix, and water in specific amounts, then adding poo to a small bucket. After the bucket is full, dig a small hole in your yard and poor the mixture in.  Cover with soil. After about two weeks, the poo will be completely transformed to healthy soil. Pet waste fermenting systems are available in a few stores on the west coast, but can be easily ordered online. Don't use dog poo fertilizer on plants that are intended for human consumption. Many cities ban pet waste in human toilets since waste water systems cannot properly process it.  It's best to err on the side of caution and put your dog poo in the garbage.  Alternately, if you want to do some investigating, contact your local Department of Health or Municipal Waste Department and find out if it is possible to flush dog poop down the toilet. If your local waste water system allows pet poop, you could use flushable poop bags.  These bags are specially designed to break down when they come in contact with water.
summary: Consider getting a separate trash can. Install a pet waste digester. Turn your dog poo into fertilizer. Be cautious when flushing your dog waste down the toilet.
