Clean LCD Screen

You should be very careful when you clean lcd screen TV's. They can damage if the wrong products are used on them and they are a very expensive investment.

Start by using a soft dry cloth to wipe dust from the whole TV, including the LCD screen. If there are no smudges anywhere on the TV and the dust comes off completely, without clinging to the screen you should stop after this step. The steps that follow are safe, but should still only be taken when necessary, because the less you expose your LCD TV to a chemical solution, no matter how mild, the better.

A solution of isopropyl alcohol and water cleans dust and fingerprints from a clean LCD screen safely.If necessary, mix a solution that is half water and half rubbing alcohol from your bathroom cabinet. Use a measuring cup for this step, because the proportions are important; a solution with more than 50% rubbing alcohol will be too harsh and could damage the LCD display. A dilute solution has more than enough power to dissolve grease and grime left by wayward fingers.

Dampen a soft cotton rag very slightly to clean an LCD TV.Next, dip a corner of your cotton cloth in the alcohol-and-water solution to dampen it. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the cloth before touching the TV with it. A barely damp cloth will get the job done just fine, while a cloth that’s too wet may drip into vital electronic parts. Once the cloth is ready, wipe it gently over the entire TV, concentrating on smudges but never pushing too hard on the LCD screen. The rubbing alcohol will do its work without physical pressure from you, which could actually damage the screen.

Use a damp Q-tip to clean the edges of an LCD TV screen.If there is any dirt or dust still hiding along the edges of the TV screen, use a Q-tip to capture it. Dip one end of the Q-tip in your mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, then press it against the inside of the container holding the cleaning solution to squeeze excess moisture out of the cottony tip. Drag the damp end of the Q-tip along the outside edge of the LCD screen, again without putting much pressure on it.

Give an LCD TV screen one last wipe with the damp cloth to remove all the dirt.Before finishing up, use your slightly damp cotton cloth to gently wipe the entire LCD screen one last time. If your Q-tip pushed any dirt toward the center of the screen instead of picking it up and taking it away, this step will ensure that it doesn’t continue to just sit there, obstructing your view in tiny ways.

Dry the LCD screen and remove streaks with a soft, dry cloth.Finally, use another soft, dry cloth to give the TV screen a quick once-over. This last step ensures that you aren’t leaving any wet spots on the TV, but even more than that (since rubbing alcohol dries quickly anyway), it wipes away streaks that may have been left behind by the previous steps. You should now have a clean lcd screen.
