How to Clean Your TV Screen

May 17, 2017 By Kenny

As sad as this is to it, your television may be one of the most important pieces of furniture that you have in your home. It’s true that it may not be as expensive as that China set you have in your cabinet and it won’t allow you to lay on it for hours while you rest, the television is the one device in your household that gets used as much as any other piece of furniture that you have.

Clean Your TV Screen

People spend hours a day sitting in front of their television watching their favorite programs. The fact remains that they will frequently have the television on even though they are not really watching it. This can even mean that they will watch things they really don’t even want to watch because it’s just something to do. It has become the ultimate form of entertainment.

Keeping Your Television Clean

Because so many people spend a large amount of time sitting in front of the television, they want to make sure that it looks its absolute best. This means that they want to keep the screen clean so that smudges and dirt do not distract from the enjoyment of watching your favorite program.

Televisions have changed a great deal even within the last decade. Now, because of HDTV the screens are very sensitive and you don’t want to do anything to scratch or damage them. This can make your television viewing a lot less enjoyable if there’s a scratch or damage to the television, so you want to make sure you clean the screen, but do it in a way that protects it at the same time. If you are wanting to know how to clean your TV screen, here are the steps to follow.

  1. Turn Off Your Television – there is no doubt if you asked the vast majority of people if their TV set is on when they clean it they will tell you yes. The reasoning that they will give you is that by having it on they are actually able to see if all the smudges came out. While that may seem like a logical point to make, the reality is that dust will actually cling to the television set more easily while it is on. The electrostatic charge on the television keep the dust particles in place, making it more difficult to clean. This is why having it off is better.
  2. Use Microfiber Cloth – to physically clean the television set, it is important to use something like a microfiber cloth to perform the task.The reason behind this is that these soft, dry pieces of cloth are perfect for LCD screens. You don’t need to add any kind of cleaner to the screen itself, and they will remove any kind of particles or smudges that are present, including oils. This is why this product that most people use to clean their eyeglasses, and it is perfect for your television as well.
  3. Wipe the Screen – once you have obtained the cloth, you simply wipe down the screen using the cloth. What you will find is even with the television off, it will be quite easy for you to be able to see the smudges or dirt that are present on the screen itself. Make sure you wipe firmly but don’t apply too much pressure. Also, never use something like a paper towel or toilet paper as they can scratch the screen and leave lint behind.
  4. Examination – Once you are done, give the screen a thorough examination. If you see that any spots remain, use the cloth on them again.
