How to clean a TV screen effortlessly?

With the advanced technology, TV displays nowadays are truly a wonder. Having  amazing color and high resolution, TVs let the audience immerse themselves into the world of imagination. In order to maintain such a high quality of visual enjoyment, it is important to clean the TV screen from time to time. Sparkling and Beyond will share some simple cleaning tips as well as some no-nos to avoid on how to clean your TV screen. Let’s get started!

How to clean your TV screen at home

To clean a TV screen, we only need the following tools:

1. A soft microfiber cloth: Similar to the one you would use to clean a pair of glasses. We suggest not to use a rough cloth or kitchen roll as their harsh surface could damage the screen. 
2. Specialized TV screen cleaning products

How to clean your TV screen at home, a step-by-step guide.

1. Firstly, unplug the TV for safety reasons. 
2. Use the microfiber cloth to wipe the TV in a small, circular motion. Make sure not to put too much pressure against the screen to prevent unwanted damages.
3. Some TV screens like OLEDs are incredibly thin so they are unstable while cleaning. You may need to use another hand to support the TV when wiping it.
4. If there are unyielding stains, it is time to use the specialized TV screen cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth and you can easily remove the spots. Before doing this, check the TV manufacturer’s instructions to make sure your TV cleaner is allowed to be used on your TV screen.
5. Before plugging the TV back in, wait until the screen dries up. The hot screen could potentially react with the screen cleaner, causing unwanted damage.

How to clean the screen to remove streaks

If your TV screen has streaks on it, here are the steps on how to clean streaks on the TV screen. 

1. Prepare a microfiber cloth or duster. Remember not to use pre-treated dusting cloths as their finishes often contain oily substances that may leave residues on your screen.
2. Turn off the TV to better see the streaks and dirt on the screen.
3. Use the cloth or duster to mop the screen in a single direction (in vertical or horizontal). After this, wipe it again in the opposite direction. In this way, you will clean the whole surface and remove any streak. Remember to turn the cloth whenever it gets dirty.

To clean your TV screen safely, use specialist cleaners

It is tempting to use the cleaning products we already have at hand for cleaning such as baking soda and vinegar. However, these products should not be used when cleaning the TV screen. On the surface of the screen, there are layers that are coated to reduce glare and reflections. When cleaning the screen, it is important not to damage these coatings. Unfortunately, most of the household cleaning products will potentially damage the TV screen. Therefore, it is suggested to buy specialized TV screen cleaners in order to clean your screen safely. Also, a dry cloth is usually sufficient to wipe the screen clean and only use a cleaning product for the stubborn stains.

How to keep the screen dirt-free all the time

Here are some tips to keep your TV screen spotless 

1. The dirt like dust, fingerprints and film can accumulate on the screen, becoming hard to wipe off. Therefore, it is recommended to clean your TV screen each week. To make things easier, you can place a microfiber cloth by the TV set to remove any dirt whenever you see one. 
2. To clean the vents, ports and cable connections, simply use a vacuum attached with a soft dusting brush in low suction power to clear any dust.
3. Any product that has ammonia, alcohol or acetone should not get close to the TV screen as they will damage the screen.
