How to Clean Your TV Screen Without Leaving Streaks

TV screens are delicate and require a gentle touch, so resist the urge to grab any household cleaner or kitchen roll. Rough materials and harsh chemicals can damage the screen or leave behind scratches and streaks.

What you'll need:

• Microfiber cloth
• Distilled water
• Cotton bud

Before we get started, it's a good idea to check your TV manufacturer's cleaning guidelines. Some screens may have specific care instructions, and using the wrong method could affect your warranty. Once you're clear on that, follow our simple step-by-step guide to get your screen spotless, so you can enjoy your favourite shows without a single smear getting in the way.

Step 1: Turn off and unplug your TV

This keeps things safe while you clean and makes smudges, dust, and fingerprints easier to spot against the dark screen.

Step 2: Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth

Use a clean, dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe the screen in circular motions, applying minimal pressure. This will remove any dust or light smudges.

Step 3: Dampen with distilled water

For tougher spots, lightly dampen your microfibre cloth with a little distilled water. Avoid spraying any liquid directly onto the screen, always apply it to the cloth instead. Wipe gently, then let the screen air dry for around 15 minutes.

Step 4: Don't forget the frame and stand

Your TV frame and stand are magnets for dust, making your living room look messier than it really is. Wipe down the frame around your screen, the stand and any visible cords with a microfibre cloth.

Pro tip: Use a cotton bud to clean the corners of the frame where dust tends to collect.
