Clean your TV and computer screens with these quick and easy tips to safely remove fingerprints, dirt, dust and smudges from your screens without causing damage.
Have you been watching your TV or using your computer with smudgy fingerprints or sprinklings of dust? You no longer need to watch your best shows from behind a veil of dust and grime. Regularly cleaning your TV screen is easy and will ensure the best crystal-clear viewing.
Flat-screen televisions and computer screens are a little sensitive and can be easily scratched and damaged during cleaning, but thankfully there is an easy process.
First and foremost, remember to be very gentle whilst cleaning as pushing and scrubbing the screen may cause pixels to burn out. Using chemicals, window cleaner, soap or abrasive powder on the TV or computer screens may damage or discolour the screen.
You can use a duster if you don’t have a microfibre cloth. Do not use a rag, tissues, paper towels or toilet paper as these items may scratch the screen.

Steps to clean the TV
All these step and DIY recipes can be found in my book, The Clean Home.
Turn off the television or computer and unplug the power cord. This will make it easier to see the fingerprints and dust.
Use a duster or dry clean cleaning cloth to gently wipe the screen and frame.
If needed to remove stubborn marks, lightly dampen a clean cloth with cleaner. Do not spray the solution directly onto the screen as this may damage the screen. Gently wipe over the screen.
Let the screen dry completely, then plug the TV back in.
Spray the solution onto the cloth, but do not spray the solution directly onto the screen as this may damage the screen.
