That's why you should know how best to clean the TV screen!

Clean TV screen: OLED, LED, LCD, etc
You should definitely pay attention to these tips!
- Use less force and elbow use to avoid scratching the screen. The screen can be easily damaged if you use a rough cloth or wipe too hard.
- Keep away from moisture. A little screen-safe cleaner goes a long way - using too much can cause moisture damage. Also be sure to let the screen and components dry completely.
- To clean a television with a damp cloth, spray the cleaner onto the cloth and wipe it across the screen. Spraying directly onto the screen can create stains that are difficult to remove. You also run the risk of damaging the speakers.
How often should you clean the TV screen?
Wash your TV screen once a week to prevent buildup: It is important to clean the screen, not only to extend its life, but also to maintain the clearest picture possible - dirt, dust and fingerprints must disappear.
Cleaning without streaks – turn off the television first
The first step to learning how to clean a TV screen streak-free is to turn off the device before you begin. When you turn off the TV, the screen darkens, making it easier to see surfaces that have spots or streaks.
Wipe the dust
To dust the screen, use a clean and dry microfiber cloth: Unlike paper towels, microfiber cloths are gentle and will not damage the screen. The material is also ideal as a dust catcher. Dust or other dirt on the screen can be gently removed using circular movements. Proceed to the next step if there is no dust.
Clean TV screen with home remedies
After dusting a flat screen TV, you may notice that some spots and streaks remain. If this keeps happening, consider getting distilled water. Because distilled water is free of minerals and impurities, it leaves no trace of calcium or iron.
Use a damp microfiber cloth to gently clean the screen unless the user manual specifies otherwise. Spray distilled water onto the cloth (not the screen!). This way you have more control over the distribution and use of the water and avoid stains. You should then carefully wipe the screen with a dry microfiber cloth.
Dishwashing detergent against stains and dirt
Sometimes you just need a little dishwashing liquid to clean the surface, for example when your child can't stop touching the screen.
Mix 60 ml of water with a drop of dishwashing liquid and dampen a soft cloth. Then wipe up the stain. To remove any remaining dishwashing liquid, lightly dampen another microfiber cloth with water. Pat the screen dry with another microfiber cloth.

Can you clean the TV screen with vinegar or glass cleaner?
You should avoid cleaning products such as vinegar or glass cleaner because they can cause damage. Most glass cleaners contain alcohol as well as ammonia, which will damage your television.
Clean the remote control
Since dust, germs and bacteria often accumulate there, the television remote control should also be cleaned regularly. You should wipe off any dirt, fingerprints or other residue. To avoid accidentally changing the TV settings when cleaning the buttons, you should first remove the batteries from the remote control. Alternatively, you can clean the remote control in another room.
Make sure you clean all parts of the remote control. Because dirt often accumulates in the spaces between keys, you should spend some time cleaning these areas. To keep the remote control dry, use a damp cleaning cloth, but not a soaked one. Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with 200 ml of warm water. You can also mix equal parts water and vinegar and use the solution as a cleaning agent. Finally, allow the TV remote to air dry completely before using it again.
