Nintendo made a neat little device called a "Card Cleaner" to clean up your Famicom Disk System game disks.

The cleaning process is entirely a manual process: You open up the card cleaner, insert the famicom disk, close it up and rotate the knob, spinning the disk and cleaning the underside of the disk. You then have to repeat with the top side.

This was definitely needed, because most FDS disks do not have shutters.
So if you don't remember to put them back into their protective sleeves every time, they're gonna get dusty and dirty quick.
