There are old illustrations of the surface gap for optical pickups, and then objects like a particle of tobacco smoke, a human hair etc. The gap is TINY compared to the object.. Some too small to really see.

So, for me, I brush off EVERY CD or DVD just before use. Both sides..
I have a pile of brushes I bought for this.
The easiest to find are women's cosmetic blush brushes. They can be very soft, plush, and well made.
I own about four of them laying around all my optical player boxes.
I use one EVERY single time I place the CD or DVD in the player. No exceptions.
