Things You'll Need:
- Soft, lint-free rag
- Water
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Measuring cup
-
Step 1
Obviously, your LCD or Plasma TV screen isn't glass. So, don't use Windex or any other household cleaners. They can harm your screen.
-
Step 2
Ensure that your TV has been off long enough that it doesn't feel warm to the touch. Wipe your screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. If there are no visible smudges after dusting, stop here. The less you have to clean your screen, the longer it will last.
-
Step 3
To remove smudges from the screen, you will need a mild cleaning solution. There are several LCD/PLasma screen cleaners on the market, but they are overpriced and contain little more than water and isopropyl alcohol. Why not make your own solution and save some bucks?
-
Step 4
Using a measuring cup, make a solution of equal parts water and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Do not add more than 50% alcohol, as this will produce a solution too harsh to use. If you'd like, make a large batch and store it in a plastic or glass container for future use.
-
Step 5
Take a soft, lint-free cloth and dip it in the cleaning solution. Squeeze out any excess solution. DO NOT spray the solution directly on the screen. This could damage nearby electrical components. Wipe the solution-damp cloth lightly over the screen, concentrating on visible smudges.
-
Step 6
If there is visible dirt in the corners of the screen, use a cotton swab dipped in the solution to clean them. Once you are finished cleaning the screen, give it a quick wipe with another dry cloth.
