To clean a TV screen safely, the best method is to:
- Unplug the TV and let it cool down before cleaning.
- Use a soft, clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen. Start by dry dusting to remove loose particles.
- If there are smudges or fingerprints, lightly dampen the microfiber cloth with water (never spray water directly on the screen) and wipe using gentle circular or linear motions.
- For stubborn spots, a very mild diluted dish soap solution can be applied on the cloth, but not directly to the screen.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, window cleaners, alcohol, ammonia, paper towels, abrasive pads, or anything that could damage the screen coating.
- After wiping with a damp cloth, wipe again with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any moisture and avoid streaks.
- Let the screen dry completely before plugging the TV back in.
This method prevents damage to the delicate screen surface and any anti-glare coating, ensuring a clean and clear display without scratches or residue.
