While you might clean your living room and toilet almost every day, household appliances often get overlooked.

Especially your TV, which you use daily, might not be getting any care at all, right?

If you look closely at the TV screen, you might see fingerprints and smudges, and if you peek behind the TV, you'll probably find a horrifying amount of dust accumulated.

Since your TV brings you so much daily enjoyment, let's show it some appreciation by cleaning it properly.

Here, we'll introduce the correct way to clean your TV.

First, turn off the power and unplug it!

First and foremost, it's crucial to turn off the power and unplug the TV.

If the plug remains in, it could accidentally snag, causing the TV to tip over, or leading to some other malfunction.

First, unplug the cord, tie it up, and tuck it behind the TV or similar location.

At this time, thoroughly wipe off any dust accumulated on the cord itself.

Also, disconnect any cables connected to a recorder and wipe off dust from them.

Once all connected cords are removed, use a handy mop to remove dust from the back, then wring out a cloth dipped in a very small amount of diluted neutral detergent and carefully wipe the back of the TV.

Moisture is strictly forbidden for TVs, so if any moisture remains, make sure to dry-wipe it thoroughly.

No alcohol or detergent for cleaning LCD screens! 

Now that the back is sparkling clean, don't just spray detergent all over the front LCD screen and wipe it! That's not how it works!

Basically, water wiping is a no-go for LCD screens, and even more so is using detergent or alcohol!

Liquids can seep into the interior from the edge of the screen and cause malfunction, and using alcohol or detergent can alter the coating of the LCD panel.

Naturally, you must also be careful about the material used to wipe the screen. First, tissue paper is rough and can scratch delicate LCD screens if used for wiping.

Cleaning the front of the TV requires surprisingly a lot of care. So, let's introduce the proper way to clean the front of the TV, the LCD screen.

From a handy mop to a microfiber cloth is better

First, gently wipe the entire screen with a clean handy mop to remove dust.

Then, lightly wipe with a dry microfiber cloth (or a cleaning cloth or glasses cloth).

That's it for cleaning the LCD screen! Only if there's still stubborn dirt, soak a microfiber cloth in water diluted with neutral detergent by more than 100 times, wring it out tightly, and gently rub only the dirty areas to wipe.

In any case, it's crucial to avoid moisture, detergents, chemicals, and friction on the LCD screen, and to handle it gently and carefully.

Cleaning a TV can be delicate, but it's something that can be done easily.

In contrast, cleaning a greasy kitchen or bathroom can be quite challenging.

For those types of cleaning, it might be a good idea to rely on a professional service.
