By now, your new flat-screen TV has probably gotten pretty dirty. But don’t be tempted to use the same methods you would to clean your tube TV. Flat-screen television sets require more specialized care. Here are a few “Dos” and “Don’ts” to keep in mind:
- Don’t reach for strong chemical cleaners like alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners or window cleaners. They can damage the screen’s special coating.
- Don’t spray a liquid cleaner on the screen, as it can leak into the TV casing and damage the circuitry.
- Never use paper towels or newspapers to wipe of the screen either. These are wood products and will scratch the screen.
What you should do instead is look for a solution that is specially labeled “safe for laptop screens” or “LCD and plasma screens.” Cleaners are available at thousands of retail locations nationwide. Once you have your cleaner on hand, disconnect the power to your TV, and use either lukewarm water or your screen care solution to clean your TV.
