I have CDs I've owned for twenty years that have never been clean, nor do they need it now. Occassionally I borrow a CD from the public library to see if I like the music & performance: typically these discs are scratched and filthy.

The fact is that I can even be bothered handling CDs nowadays. 98% of my listening is to computer files.
