Steps to clean your television without damaging it

If there is one good thing that we remember about the old televisions, it is that, even if they took up half a piece of furniture, their screens were easily cleaned.

Before, screens were mainly glass, however, today’s LCD, LED, OLED or plasma screens, and therefore extremely fragile, prone to scratches, with highly sensitive anti-glare filters, and even tactile ones, making the task even more difficult.

Although it is recommended that you consult the instructions to see the manufacturer’s recommendations, below, we are going to give you some tips so that your TV is perfect.

Proper cleaning starts with safety. Therefore, first of all, check that it is unplugged.

Put it preferably backlight to be able to see well the dust and the footprints on which you will have to emphasize, always with care.

Next, it is advisable to use a clean microfiber cloth, since they are the most sensitive, while cleaning without leaving traces. Avoid paper or traditional cloths, as they could scratch the TV.

Product application

Do not apply the product directly on the screen, do it using the cloth. However, as far as possible we advise you to always clean your TV with a dry cloth and avoid wetting it unless it is absolutely essential.

In case of need, check that the product you are going to use does not contain alcohol or any other abrasive ingredient, since you could damage the television and permanently discolor the screen, among many other irreparable damages. In this case, it is advisable to moisten the cloth only with water or with a specific product for screens.

Normally, cleaning the television in the living room or bedroom will always be easier than that of the kitchen roomas the former is more likely to just collect dust, while the latter may be greasy. Therefore, for this second case, in which the stains are more difficult, we recommend that you use a splash of vinegar and a microfiber cloth.
