Ammonia and acetone, on the other hand, damage the screen by causing discolouration and forming a hazy appearance, thereby ruining the TV's visual quality. [Note: Even wet wipes with high alcohol content should not be used on TV screens.]
Mix warm water with a little squirt of dawn dish soap in a cup or whatever you have. Take a microfiber cloth and soak it in that. Ring it out well and wipe down the TV. Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe it down after it dries if there's any streaks. Don't use any window cleaners or ``screen cleaners''.
Wet wipes are not recommended. The wet wipes are usually not pure water, which may affect the screen. Generally use a slightly damp soft cloth to wipe, and then use a clean cloth or a good quality paper towel to dry. If you need to use a cleaning solution, you can buy a 3m screen cleaning solution.
Yes, yes it can. As most household cleaning items are highly acidic and use chemicals to get rid of other chemicals your wipes (Clorox wipes have bleach I believe) are most likely getting rid of a coating on the panel.
For this reason, Clorox® Expert Disinfecting Wipes, which are completely bleach free, are an effective alternative. They will provide fast, expert disinfection to your electronics while not posing any damage to them.
Do NOT use any spray cleaners such as Windex, Simple Green or Lysol as these are too strong and could damage the coating on the TV screen.
What Can I Clean on My Monitor? Use a “screen-cleaning cloth” or a “soft cloth with IPA (or water)”. Avoid ethanol, rubbing alcohol, and bleach, which can damage the monitor's surface. For the best results, clean your screen with a slightly dampened cloth, ideally a microfiber one—do not spray directly on the screen.
A Swiffer duster, some microfiber towels, isopropyl alcohol, and maybe a bit of Dawn Dish soap will be all you need to get those pesky fingerprints taken care of and your screens clean and clear. Another tip to protect your electronics is to never spray cleaner directly onto the screen or item.
For more persistent marks and dirt, you can use some gentle face or baby wipes, or a little bit of household hand soap. If you do opt for cleaning wipes, use them sparingly and make sure they're approved for use on electrical devices. If not, Turner says a little soap, water, and a cloth will do just fine.
Never use any harsh chemicals like window cleaner or lens cleaner. They're not necessary, and could actually damage your display. Some distilled water is literally all the cleaning fluid you'll need for most jobs.
For general cleaning of the frame and screen of your TV, you should use a soft, clean, lint-free, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfibre cloth. You should never use any type of window cleaner, soap, scouring powder, or any cleanser with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, ammonia, or paint thinner.
If the dust and debris on the TV screen cannot be removed with just a soft, dry cloth, try to clean with some water. Then remove the remaining oil and moisture with a dry, microfibre cloth. Note: Do not spray water directly on the screen.
Windex is an easy cleaning solution to rely on, but don't use it on your TV screen. If you regularly scrub down your electronics with water or window cleaner, you're doing it wrong.
Ammonia and acetone, on the other hand, damage the screen by causing discolouration and forming a hazy appearance, thereby ruining the TV's visual quality. [Note: Even wet wipes with high alcohol content should not be used on TV screens.]
Wipe the screen in small, circular motions with your cloth.
Circular motions will ensure that you don't leave streaks on the screen when you wipe it. Gently wipe the screen so you don't damage it. If there are fingerprints on the frame of the screen, wipe them off in circular motions with the microfiber cloth.
You want a product with 70% isopropyl (likely rubbing alcohol) and no ethyl, as this can cause serious damage to your screen. Create your cleaning solution by mixing 4 parts distilled water with 1 part alcohol. Get into a spray bottle, and you're ready to go.
Don't use household disinfecting wipes on your computer screen. The same goes for your old T-shirts that you've saved from the last time you had to help a friend paint their walls. Save that for the next time you have to wipe down the bathtub, not your computer screens.
Moisten a clean, soft, lint free, cotton cloth with a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water (also known as rubbing alcohol). Do not use fibrous materials, such as paper towels. The cloth should be moist with no free liquid to ensure dripping does not occur. Do not spray any liquids directly onto the product.
Never use substances that could harm your TV, like ammonia or alcohol. These substances are often found in household window cleaning sprays, so avoid using these on your TV. Never spray any liquid products or water directly onto your TV as the liquid can penetrate the seal and cause internal damage.
If you have fingerprints or streaks on your TV screen and you need to get them off quickly, you can use vinegar to do so. Spray a small amount of vinegar onto a microfibre cloth and wipe the TV gently. Have a spare clean and dry microfibre cloth handy, and use this to remove any residue once you've cleaned your TV.
For screen, gently wipe with microfiber cloth. Gently wipe dirt on the exterior (dust, skin oil of hands, etc.) with a dry, soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cleaner. If ink from an oil marker gets on the TV, soak a cloth in synthetic detergent thinned with water and squeeze it tightly, then wipe the ink off with it.
