How To Clean Your TV Easily

If you’ve ever wondered how to clean your TV easily without resorting to a generic cleaner that can affect the screen, worry no more. Below, we’ll provide the tips you need to accomplish your goal.

Keep in mind that although the tips we’ll share may apply in many cases, it is recommended that you take into account the features of the device and the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance.

Tips for cleaning your TV

As we’ve already mentioned, when the television is off and the light reveals fingerprint smudges, dust, and other accumulated dirt, you can immediately consider cleaning it with a damp cloth and a little detergent. However, you have doubts. Would this be a good product for me to use?

Cleaning the television, as well as computer screens, can be a tedious task. Do you need to use some cotton soaked in alcohol or rather a dry cloth? Is it okay to dampen a cloth with a little water and cleaner? And the screen sprays specially designed for these cases?

When you don’t have the spray with the liquid specially developed to clean computer screens and other  electronic devices, you can resort to the following.

security first

Before starting to clean the TV,  make sure it is unplugged. Also, it’s a good idea to consult your TV manual to see if there are specific recommendations for that model and what kind of products you can use.

Use clean microfiber cloths to clean the TV

Avoid using traditional paper or cloths. These materials  are rough and can scratch your plasma, LED, or LCD TV. Microfiber cloths are good for catching dust and are also used for cleaning glass. It is a perfect material to clean without leaving marks or traces.

Many TV models include this type of cloth to clean the screens. If you still have an old TV with a glass screen, you can easily clean it  with a microfiber cloth dampened with a little glass cleaner.

Do not directly spray the product on the screen

Always use a cloth first. The ideal is to clean the screens dry; try to avoid using something damp unless it is absolutely necessary. In the case of modern televisions, distilled water is often recommended for cleaning the screens; do not use alcohol or abrasive products, as they would damage the screen without you realizing it.

If you have a television in the kitchen, it will definitely be dirtier with the fumes, smoke and grease that remain in the room. For stubborn stains, use a little vinegar and a microfiber cloth.

In order for the cleaning to last longer, it is advisable that the television not be placed in areas of passages or drafts, as the transfer of air and dust will make it stain more easily.

do not force when cleaning

Carefully clean the surfaces as they are more delicate materials than the crystals of yesteryear. Make smooth horizontal movements,  and always let the screen dry in the wind.

Finally, review the area at the base of the TV, so that the device is in perfect condition. With a few revisions it will be enough. Always keep your television rags  and have them handy for safe use next time.

Be careful when cleaning the screen so as not to damage it

Televisions have changed a lot over the years. And technological development has meant that we have high quality screens, which allow us to see any detail of the movies and series that we like the most.

The screens can be manufactured with  different materials, among which LED, LCD and plasma stand out. Tube televisions are gone, and they no longer have a crystal or glass as their main element.

Today’s screens are fragile and need other care ; moreover, some of them are so tactile, so it will be necessary to clean them more often. Therefore, it is good to put these tips into practice to improve the image of televisions.

Make the TV screen “like new” when cleaning the TV

These are some techniques currently used to improve screen cleanliness. Without a doubt, they are  simple, natural and very effective ways to have a perfect image.

Also, don’t hesitate to apply this advice to the rest of your home screens. Whether from the computer, cell phones or tablets.

Finally,  remember that it is advisable to clean the TV screen once a week. Not only so it doesn’t accumulate as much dirt, but so it can last longer.
