Cleaning a TV screen can be a daunting task, especially when you are concerned about damaging the delicate surface. Fingerprints, dust, and smudges make it difficult to keep your screen pristine. It’s frustrating to clean the screen repeatedly without achieving the desired result. Fortunately, my nana had a foolproof trick for getting a spotless TV screen with minimal effort. In this article, I’ll share her simple yet effective method to achieve a sparkling clean TV screen.
A Time-Tested Secret
My nana, who was known for her spotless home and innovative cleaning tricks, turned mundane chores into manageable tasks. Her secret for cleaning TV screens was passed down through generations, tried and tested over time. She swore by using a specific combination of household items that worked wonders without any hard scrubbing or fear of damage.
Materials You Will Need
The beauty of nana’s trick lies in its simplicity and the minimal materials involved. Here’s what you’ll need: (1) Distilled water, (2) White vinegar, (3) A microfiber cloth, (4) A spray bottle.
These items are likely already available at home, making this method even more convenient.
The Simple Steps Nana Followed
1. Turn off the TV and allow it to cool down completely to avoid any electrical issues or smudging caused by heat.
2. Mix equal parts of distilled water and white vinegar in the spray bottle. Vinegar is a natural cleaner that cuts through grime without leaving streaks.
3. Lightly mist the microfiber cloth with the vinegar solution. Avoid spraying directly onto the screen to prevent any liquid from seeping into the device.
4. Gently wipe the screen in small circular motions. The microfiber cloth will lift away dust and fingerprints without scratching the surface.
5. Use a dry part of the microfiber cloth to buff the screen to a clear, streak-free finish.
