Comments on How to Clean a VCR or Television

helps keep the dust away: If you have forced air heating or air conditioning, brush or vaccum return ducts on a regular basis and then replace filters. This cuts down overall on dust bunnies which of course go right for your TV and computer and stero equipment.

PLEASE!, unplug VCR before cleaning, don't just turn VCR off, there are plenty of high amperage electrons waiting to bite in certain places!, ounce of precaution.........., this can also help reset VCR CPU (some), and take care of some other type problems, thanx!, Larry

I don't care how many times someone tells you to, never clean a screen with a dryer sheet! They contain fabric softeners that leave residue on your screen. I've seen it everywhere. Older TV screens are OK for this tip, but the newer ones with anti-glare coatings, and pretty much any computer screen (LCD or CRT) should not be done this way. The best advice is to dust it with a clean, dry cloth designed for dusting. For anything stuck to the screen first try breathing on it and then use the same dry cloth. The moisture in your breath is often enough. If that doesn't work, use mild window cleaner on the cloth. Never spray the screen directly.
