How to Clean a Television Screen
Because we spend so much of our waking hours in front of displays—television screens, computer screens, smartphone screens—we want them to be as clean as possible. Fortunately for us, little is more when it comes to cleaning any form of electronic screen. Aggressive cleaning can harm the displays and will often violate the manufacturer’s warranty.
You can maintain your television screen and its many components and accessories dust, dirt, and bacteria-free with only a few tools and supplies.
3 Condiments That Can Be Used to Clean
How Frequently Should a Television Screen Be Cleaned?
Weekly dusting of television screens is recommended for a cleaner image. If there are any liquid spills or food splatters, they should be cleaned up right soon. When cleaning, don’t forget about the tangle of wires that are typically tucked away accumulating dust, speakers, games or control components, and remotes.

How to Clean a Flat Plasma, LED, LCD, or OLED TV Screen
Turn the screen off.
A dark screen allows you to see the dust on the surface more clearly. Before you begin cleaning, make sure the screen is steady.
Clean the Screen
Dust the front of the television screen using a disposable static-cling duster or a clean microfiber cloth. Excessive pressure may cause the screen to break.
Take on Difficult Stains
By applying light pressure to the area, a microfiber cloth will remove fingerprints without leaving lint or scratches on the fibres. If food has splattered on the screen, moisten the microfiber cloth gently with ordinary water and wipe away the residue. Dry the newly cleaned surface immediately with a clean microfiber towel. Dust Every Surface
After you’ve cleaned the screen, don’t forget to clean the top, sides, and back of the television. It is also vital to keep vents clean of dust so that heat may escape readily.
Don’t Forget the Power Cords
Even if you have “cut the cable” and are no longer using cable television, there are still wires and cables that collect dust on practically all televisions. To reach these spots, a disposable duster with a long handle is a suitable option.
Speakers and components that are clean
If you have external speakers, be sure to dust them well. A sticky lint roller is ideal for removing dust off the fabric covering on the front of many speakers. Dust gaming boxes and other extra components are also included.
Clean the Remote Control
Television remotes and gaming controllers are among the most bacteria-infested things in our homes, and they should be cleaned on a regular basis. Remotes should be cleaned after each usage if someone in the home has a cold or virus.
Close the battery compartment after removing the batteries.
Gently tap the remote or controller on a table to remove any crumbs.
Wipe out the remote with a microfiber cloth gently wet with isopropyl alcohol or a disinfectant wipe appropriate for use on electronics.
Push the cloth between each raised button with a toothpick.
Allow the remote to air-dry before replacing the batteries.
