Unlock the power of a homemade cleaner for longer-lasting clean screens

A dirty TV screen can be annoying, especially when the sun shines brightly. It's specifically the sunlight that underlines the amount of dust accumulated on the TV screen, which often hampers the enjoyment of a movie or series.

What to use while cleaning your TV screen? Not all cleaning agents are suitable

Modern screens are quite delicate and brittle. They can easily be damaged during cleaning - not so much due to the pressure applied, but due to the products used for cleaning. Alcohol-based cleaners are a no-go as they can ruin the screen's surface. Therefore, alcohol-based disinfectants or window cleaners aren't suitable either.

So, what's the safest way to clean a TV screen? Using a non-alcohol-based surface cleaner is one option. However, a better solution is to create a homemade screen cleaning mix with antistatic properties, thus preventing dust accumulation on the surface.

This homemade liquid is effective on your computer, tablet, or cell phone screen. Preparing it is straightforward and takes less than a minute. You'll need distilled water and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio. It's most convenient to prepare it in a bottle with a spray pump. Apply the product to a cotton cloth and gently clean the whole screen and casing. The cloth must be only lightly damp at most.

How to clean a TV screen? The method does matter

Besides the cleaning agent used, the method of cleaning is equally important. Such delicate surfaces should be cleaned using only soft, cotton cloths. A microfiber cloth is the best option. Other materials, such as sponges, can scratch the surface of the screen, causing severe damage.

Importantly, never spray a cleaning agent directly onto the screen surface. The cloth should instead be lightly moistened with the cleaning agent, and it should be employed to thoroughly clean the screen's surface. Spraying directly onto the screen risks water ingress into the device, possibly resulting in breakdown.
