I've just noticed some grot on the tv screen (shouldn't have put my glasses on!) I'm ashamed to say I've never really cleaned the screen before, so I'm not sure how to do it. I remember grandson getting into trouble for cleaning too heavily and blurring a tiny piece of the picture due to damaging the screen.
I use the same spray I use for cleaning windows and mirrors, both on the TV and our laptops. They have to be turned off when you clean them, and don't rub hard.
This reminds me of my DD1. Her husband bought a new tv and it came with its own microfibre cloth. DD1 cleaned the screen with it every week. After a couple of months her DH announced that this tv never seemed to get dusty! I think she nearly hit him with the cloth.
I’ve tried a few different products and the best by far are Pledge Electronics wipes - got them in Asda. They are the only ones I’ve found that don’t leave smears. I don’t use them very often, in between I dust with a micro fibre cloth.
Some TVs have specially treated screens which should only be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth. Ours is a Panasonic Oled and doesn't seem to get finger marked from DGS. The screen is fairly matte anyway so perhaps it's filthy but doesn't show! It's an idea to check with the manufacturers, imagine ruining the screen of a £2000 TV by using the wrong cleaner!
Face wipes 60p for 25 at Tesco, use for all screens, also for small marks on fabric - and for cleaning makeup of course! I was given this tip by cashier at PC World when I bought some pricey screen wipes - that weren’t very efficient!
There are sprays on the market that you can use on all laptop, tablet, phone and t v screens. Allegedly anti static. I also use the same on my specs which certainly brightens up my views if not my impression of the world.
I just use Mr Sheen, or whatever is the Asda equivalent, same as I use on mirrors and glass topped side tables. Works fine and it never occurred to me that I should buy anything else!
Just looked at my tv screen, it needs a bit of a clean but confused now as dont want to do any damage. My glasses are like yours miss a always dirty, people cant believe i can actually see anything, but i can. Sort of. Must do better.
I’ve only ever used warm water and washing up liquid, and a tightly squeezed-out cloth. Do all my dusting this way (unless visitors are expected when I squirt about a bit of Pledge for effect!) ?
Blimey! Sounds as if I've been doing it all wrong. I spray all screens and other glass like mirrors and windows with windolene spray and give it a quick wipe. Been doing it regularly for years with no ill effects.
Apple “genius” told me to stop using Screen cleaner on iPad because it gradually damages the surface. Just use plain water and a microfibre cloth. I assume TVs are the same. Our tv only needs a dust because our only grandchild is 7 and wouldn’t ever touch the screen.
