Don't clean your TV this way again.

The actual TV cleaning process is not too complicated, just requires carefulness to avoid scratching and damaging the screen. Some methods should also be absolutely avoided, such as spraying water directly.

Like many electronic devices, TVs are susceptible to dust and fingerprints. Over time, accumulated dust can affect display quality, reducing the user experience.

In fact, cleaning a TV screen is quite simple, without the need for expensive tools. With CRT TVs, you can clean them quickly with a soft cloth and glass cleaner. Meanwhile, you need to be more careful when cleaning a flat TV to avoid scratching and damaging the screen.

In general, just wipe the TV with a soft, dry cloth, turn off the power or unplug it before cleaning. Below are instructions for cleaning flat-screen TVs, a popular type of device used today.

Notes when cleaning TV

First, you should wipe the TV with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using paper towels because hard fibers can easily scratch or damage the screen.

According to Consumer Reports , the best type is a soft, anti-static microfiber cloth, the same kind used to clean eyeglasses and camera lenses. Use the cloth to wipe the screen in a circular motion with light pressure to remove dirt and debris, without pressing too hard.

Make sure the cloth is clean as any dirt or hard particles on the cloth can scratch the screen if you are not careful.

To see the location of the dirt clearly, use a lamp or strong light source to shine on the TV. If possible, move the lamp around the screen, this will make it easier to detect stubborn stains or dust (if any).

Users should also wipe the frame and back of the TV, ensuring that dust does not accumulate in the heat dissipation slots. If the TV is placed on a stand (not wall-mounted), use one hand to support the screen to prevent it from tipping over. A strap can be attached to increase stability.

If there are stubborn stains, you can moisten a cloth with distilled water and wipe gently. Never spray water directly onto the screen as it can easily cause electric shock or damage if water seeps into the internal components of the TV. Also, do not use tap water as the minerals dissolved in water tend to scratch the screen.

If you can’t get rid of stubborn stains, try mixing dishwashing liquid with water, soaking it in a cloth and wiping. Companies like Panasonic recommend a 100:1 ratio of water to solution. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid scratching the TV.

After using a damp cloth, wipe again with a dry cloth to remove any remaining traces of cleaning on the screen. According to Rtings , the best frequency for cleaning a TV is once a week or more, depending on the level of dust in the room.

No chemicals

According to Consumer Reports , common cleaning chemicals like alcohol or ammonia can damage your TV. If you choose to use a cleaner, choose one that does not contain alcohol, ammonia, or acetone. Also, avoid cleaners that contain abrasives, which can scratch the screen.

There are many screen cleaning kits on the market, which essentially consist of a microfiber cloth and a cleaning solution (mostly water-based). Instead of these tools, just buy a microfiber cloth online or at a stationery store, then clean with distilled water or a homemade solution according to the instructions above.

If you purchase cleaning supplies, make sure the bottle of solution that comes with it is free of harmful chemicals.

In addition to the TV screen, do not forget to clean the remote control because it is easy to collect dust and bacteria. Due to direct contact with hands, dust on the remote control can stick to it, causing coughing or sneezing if not careful.

First, remove the batteries from the remote before cleaning. Then, turn it upside down and gently tap the back to remove dust from the button slots. Lightly dampen a cloth with alcohol diluted with water, then wipe the entire surface of the remote.

To clean inside and around the buttons, use a cotton swab dipped in a solution of alcohol and water. For deeper debris, use a dry toothbrush or toothpick. Finally, wipe the remote with a dry soft cloth and replace the batteries.

If you want to clean the remote more thoroughly, you can choose a disinfecting solution. If you use bleach, health authorities recommend mixing 4 teaspoons of bleach with 1 liter of water, soaking it in a cloth and then wiping the remote. Remember to wipe the remote again with a damp cloth to avoid damage or fading.

If using alcohol, the solution must have a concentration of at least 70% isopropyl alcohol. In both cases, the user should wear gloves and be careful when the surrounding area has fabric or skin. Finally, the room's windows should be opened to ventilate and reduce the pungent smell.
