Home Solutions 

1. Use microfiber cloth

Gently wipe the screen with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. This is safe for all TV models, including high-end OLED and QLED series.

2. Avoid liquid cleaners

For OLED TVs, never use liquid cleaners. The organic compounds in OLED displays are sensitive to moisture. Instead, use only a dry microfiber cloth to maintain the perfect blacks and high contrast ratio.

3. Turn off before cleaning

Always power down and unplug your TV before cleaning. This prevents potential electrical hazards and allows you to see dust and smudges more clearly on the dark screen, ensuring a more thorough cleaning process.

4. Use distilled water

For tough smudges on LED models, slightly dampen the microfiber cloth with distilled water. Gently wipe in a circular motion, being careful not to press too hard on the display.

5. Never spray directly

For QLED models, if using a cleaning solution, spray it onto the microfiber cloth first, not directly on the screen. This prevents liquid from seeping into the TV's internals and causing damage to sensitive electronic components.

6. Avoid harsh chemicals

Don't use window cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive solutions on any TV, including budget-friendly series. These can damage the screen's anti-glare coating and affect picture quality.

7. Clean the remote and stand

While focusing on the screen, don't forget to sanitize the remote control and clean the TV stand or mount. For Google TV models with voice control, keeping the remote clean ensures optimal performance.

8. Regular dusting

Lightly dust your TV screen weekly with a dry microfiber cloth. This is especially important for larger models, as more surface area can accumulate dust quickly.
