 Keep the disk away from: Magnetic fields, moist, heat, dust, direct sunlight. Also, clean the heads of your drives. (gently)

I let my floppy drive cleaner disks do things their own way. There's only one cleaning mode on those.


 Well, yeah. Obviously...
Perhaps he doesn't have a cleaner disk and he wants to open the drive and clean the heads with a cotton pad. I have done it many times. It must be done gently, otherwise you could make things worse.
