An Easy Way To Clean Your TV

If you are going to clean your television, then it is very important that you take into account the material it is made of so that you do not ruin the screen with the wrong cleaning products.

You see a good movie, and suddenly your eye catches some marks and spots on the screen. You’re trying to get back to the movie, but now you can only concentrate on the dust that is right in front of your nose. No more watching movies – until you’ve cleaned your television, at least.

It can sometimes be overwhelming and tedious to clean your television and other screens. However, it may just be because we do not quite know how to do it in a simple, efficient and safe way  so that we do not damage our appliances.

It is common not to detect debris on a screen when cleaning your television or computer while it is turned on. However, it is important to clean your screens once a week to keep them from gradually collecting dust. It will keep them from getting too dirty and you will not have to resort to aggressive cleaning products.

How to clean your TV

Here are some techniques you can use to clean your television, as well as the steps you need to follow:

Dry method

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning it – your safety should come first.
• If you have a manual for the appliance, read it carefully so that you can find out what material you are facing and what cleaning products you can use on it.
• Clean microfiber cloths are good for collecting dust, so they are often used to clean glass. Microfiber is also the optimal material to clean with, without leaving marks. Many companies put these cloths in the television packages.

• Avoid using paper or plain materials. These materials are tough and will easily scratch your plasma, LED or LCD television.

Wet method

• If you still have an  old TV with a glass screen,  you can easily clean it with a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner.
• Do not spray liquid on the screen. Instead, try cleaning the screen with a dry cloth first. Ideally, screens should be wiped with dry materials. Avoid using anything wet on them unless absolutely necessary.
• Distilled water is often recommended for cleaning modern televisions. Also, do not use cleaning products that contain harsh ingredients, such as alcohol or other scrubs, because you may damage the screen without noticing it.
• If you have a TV in the kitchen, it’s probably dirtier from steam, us and grease that envelops this area. For these problematic stains, you can pour a little vinegar on a microfiber cloth, and wipe the screen with it.

• Do not press too hard on the screen  when cleaning it. Clean the surface gently, as the material is more sensitive than the glass used for the older models.
• Finally, walk over the area on the legs of the television so that it is also clean. A few touches with a cloth is enough. Always set aside the cloths used for the screens and save them for this one purpose only.
