How to Clean a TV Screen the Best Way?

Today's TVs are a long cry from the robust boxes that once took up so much space in our living rooms, with their internet connectivity and fragile LCD panels. However, those ancient bricks had one advantage—they were simple to clean without endangering the entire machine. And while a modern-day TV is more delicate and finicky than earlier models, it requires more time and care to clean than glass or plastic screens. Furthermore, if you still have one of those durable old TVs lying around your home, known as a CRTV or tube TV, you can use Windex (or another glass cleaner) to clean the screen. Simple enough, right? Additionally, you might own a plasma-screen television, which is still in use even though they haven't been produced in almost a decade. But, if your TV set is newer, it is probably an LCD (LED) or OLED one. According to Consumer Reports, the main advice for cleaning them is to wipe the screen with a soft, dry cloth. However, there's a little more to it than that.

Cleaning LCD (LED) or OLED TVs

• First, unplug and turn off the TV before you begin. The reason is that this will allow it to cool down, making the process safer for the screen and making smudges, streaks, and grime easier to see. (And you won't run the risk of combining liquid and electricity if you do need a little water for tough spots.)
• Moreover, to see if there are any cleaning guidelines particular to the TV you own, check your owner's manual.
• If you didn't save that, find instructions on the manufacturer's website. Hopefully, you kept the cloth that came with your television, but if not, buy a soft, microfiber cloth or use one designed for glasses or cameras. Then, gently wipe your TV screen in circular motions.
• Even after using the cloth to remove the majority of the smudges, there may still be some stubborn areas that require more work. Consumer Reports advises using a very light dish soap solution, greatly diluted in water will work here.
• Then, spray a little on a cloth (never directly on the screen), then gently rub it over any stubborn grime.
• Finally, wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry microfiber cloth. (Alternatively, you may completely omit the dish soap; a little mist of plain water sprayed onto the towel should work.)

Additionally, CR cautions, "LCD screens, in particular, are very sensitive to pressure and can scratch easily, so don’t press hard." Also, never use harsh chemicals or glass cleaners on these screens. On an added note, go after the vents last - you can use a standard duster or the vacuum's soft brush attachment. Following that, you can remove the dust by gently sweeping over the vents on the back of the television. (If the TV is freestanding, support it with something while vacuuming.) Finally, finish by spraying the ports with compressed air, and then use your dry cloth to any dust that comes out. Also Read- DreameBot L10s Ultra Raises the Bar for Robot Vacuum Cleaners
