They don't have to be spotless. Audio CDs at least also play when scratched and dirty-ish. I don't recommend it, because the dirt can fall off and accumulate inside the player, but I've had very few problems. I got my first in '84 or '85, and all but two of 500+ still can be played back. I've never had a problem with a DVD, but they are considerably newer.
