When your TV is turned on, any water that touches the screen could heat up and burn into the screen. To avoid permanent damage, always remember to unplug your TV before you start to clean it. Wash your hands before cleaning to avoid extra dirt or smudges on your screen.

Anti-static cloths are the safest kind of cloth to use on your TV screen. Head to your local electronics store to pick up an anti-static cloth if you don’t have one already.

Make sure the cloth isn’t so wet that water runs off it when you apply it to the screen. The cloth should be ever so slightly damp. Don’t wipe behind the frame of the screen as you might damage the electrical components. Instead, learn to keep dust off your TV.

You should also never use abrasive pads or paper towels on your TV screen. These cleaning materials will scratch the screen.

The screen might look dry and feel dry within the hour but wait for the hour for peace of mind.

It’s important to let the TV cool down before you clean it. Any water you use to clean the screen can be heated by the TV and cause damage.

If the fingerprints come off when you wipe them with the cloth, stop cleaning the TV.

If you don’t have a measuring cup, mix the alcohol and water in a glass. Make sure that you don’t use more alcohol than water. You can also measure using a kitchen scale. Do not use another chemical as a substitute for isopropyl alcohol.

Dip a cotton bud into your solution and dry it with a cloth so it’s slightly damp to clean the corners of the screen where it might be difficult to remove fingerprints with a cloth.

Leave the TV dry itself after wiping for 15 minutes or so. Plug the TV back in once it’s completely dry. Be sure to clean the microfiber cloth.

If the TV isn’t cool when you clean it, the screen will heat the water and this will damage the screen.

If you’re using a spray bottle that used to hold another cleaning product, pour dish soap into it. Rinse it out a few times until suds stop forming. Let it dry when you’re finished.

A couple of sprays of the mixture onto the cloth should be enough.

If there are fingerprints on the frame of the screen, wipe them off in circular motions with the microfiber cloth.

Let the TV screen dry for another 15 minutes after you’ve wiped it. Plug the TV in once it’s dry. Now you can watch TV with a perfectly clean screen.
