Smudges on your TV? Make your own DIY screen cleaner with just two items
View Date:2024-12-25 01:42:04
Many of us spend a lot of time looking at our television. They are the vessels that bring us binge-worthy content like "Bridgerton" or "Real Housewives," inform us about what's happening in our communities and the world around us and stream YouTube content about how to keep indoor plants alive.
But something is standing between you and the best picture possible: dust, dirt and a few fingerprints.
Your TV might receive a quick wipe or dusting when you're cleaning, but sometimes it needs more than that. And with such an expensive piece of technology, you want to be careful about what you're using to clean off all those pesky fingerprints.
This DIY solution will have your TV clean and your picture as clear as the day you bought it.
Watch this video to see how you can easily wipe away fingerprints and grime with this easy-to-make, do-it-yourself cleaning solution.
What can you use to clean a TV screen?
You want to avoid chemical cleaners and products containing alcohol or ammonia when cleaning your TV screen.
So, put down that bottle of Windex and grab these four items to make your own TV cleaning solution:
- Distilled water
- Vinegar
- Spray bottle
- Microfiber cloth
A microfiber cloth is essential because other cloths or towels can scratch your screen.
To make this simple cleaning solution:
- Mix one part distilled water with one part vinegar in a spray bottle.
- Shake well.
- Spray the solution onto your microfiber cloth. Never spray the cleaning solution directly onto the screen.
- Gently wipe your TV to remove any smudges and dirt on your screen.
This homemade solution is also safe to use on your computer screen.
