[Closed] Cleaning a flat screen TV?

Damp cloth. Finish off with Mr Sheen for a really clean surface.

yup, water is pretty inert stuff, but good enough to clean off most stuff.

Isopropyl alchohol/water mixed 50/50 - it's what most screen-cleaning products consist of.

As above. I always clean gently and with tv fully off (maybe just old wives take the last bit)

Water is actually a mild solvent, if it's properly cruddy you might need something stronger, but once it's clean a regular wipe, say weekly with a damp microfiber cloth will keep on top of it.

Or just let the offspring know that prodding your screen will earn them a time out on the naughty step. I have a mate who's a serial screen prodder, a couple of gentle slaps quickly reverted the behaviour, poke my screen, get a slap.

I just use wet wipes. I have two kids that can't keep their fingers off stuff!!

Wire brush and Dettol.

You can get specific screen wipes. I'd be a little careful what you take to a flat panel as it's easy to make a right mess of one.

I can't abide people who insist on mauling screens, you can point at something without touching it. I bet he dunks the end of ketchup bottles into his eggs and beans too, the animal.

Am I the only one thinking buy a new TV?

Due to mrscarlos being allergic to most cleaning products we use a 50/50 mix of malt vinegar and water for most household cleaning jobs , always works fine for us.

But your house must smell like a chippy.

Win-win!

I have to say I spent too long thinking about this last year, the Smallest used to like smearing her food on it to feed Peppa Pig or whoever.

If you read the manual it's full of tales of woe, if you use anyway bar lint free rag many kittens will be killed in the worse way possible.

Oh you'll destroy the anti-glare coating, oh you'll leave streaks that will outlast the sun.

I bought a few fancy things, they did nothing, declared "**** it" set about it with some damp kitchen roll - zero fatalities.
