当您使用CRT 显示器(CRT monitors)和电视(TVs)时，您几乎可以用任何东西清洁它们。屏幕是用玻璃做的，没有别的。今天的LCD(LCD)和 OLED 显示器 不再是这种情况。
现代显示器是需要特别小心的敏感设备。如果使用粗糙的海绵或腐蚀性清洁剂清洁触摸屏，很容易损坏它。您最终会刮伤屏幕并损坏其特殊涂层，您最终会得到一个不再接受您的触摸命令的劣质设备。这适用于任何笔记本电脑、平板电脑、电视、手机或其他具有LCD、MicroLED 或 OLED(MicroLED, or OLED)显示屏的设备。
在本文中，我们将教您如何以正确的方式清洁电视或显示器屏幕，我们还将向您展示一些可用的最佳清洁剂。
阅读说明书
大多数人打开盒子，取出智能电视(smart TV)或显示器，插上电源，就是这样。他们无视制造商的说明。不要跳过阅读这些说明。一些制造商提供与其产品一起使用的特定清洁产品建议。
例如，戴尔(Dell)可能会建议使用 70% 的异丙醇清洁其中一款 PC 显示器型号，而三星(Samsung)可能会建议仅使用干燥的超细纤维布。尽管有一般性建议，您仍应始终优先考虑制造商的具体说明。这也将帮助您处理保修索赔。
避免使用某些清洁剂
一些屏幕，尤其是触摸屏，有特殊的保护涂层，可以减少反射和眩光。刺激性化学物质会去除这些涂层，甚至会损坏显示器的材料。不要使用任何家用清洁剂。
远离玻璃清洁产品和任何含有氨、氯甚至酒精的东西。如果制造商指定，有时可以使用异丙醇。(Isopropyl)只要(Just)确保你注意百分比，通常是 70% 或 90%。
如果您一直在使用上述解决方案之一清洁电视或显示器，请停止。使用它们几次可能不会造成任何明显的损坏，但随着时间的推移，一旦保护涂层消失，它们就会留下条纹。
使用罐装空气(Use Canned Air)和超细纤维布(Microfiber Cloths)
当您不确定什么是安全使用时，请使用罐装空气和超细纤维布。罐装(Canned)空气非常适合清洁计算机硬件(cleaning computer hardware)、键盘以及显示器和电视机(TVs)。无论您是清洁平板电脑、 OLED(OLED)显示器还是老式玻璃电视， 它都不会对屏幕表面造成任何损坏。
灰尘(Dust)聚集在屏幕表面，尤其是边缘周围，因此请先用压缩空气将其吹掉。当压缩空气不足时，使用优质超细纤维布移动顽固的灰尘颗粒。您所需要的只是轻轻一触。(All)不要用力按压显示屏，否则会损坏它。
仅使用超细纤维布非常重要。它足够柔软，不会划伤屏幕或损坏任何保护涂层。不要使用纸巾或纸巾，因为它们含有很少的松散纤维，可能会造成小划痕。
使用(Use)蒸馏水去除(Water)干燥污垢(Dry Dirt)
有时罐装空气和干燥的超细纤维(microfiber)布不足以去除顽固的颗粒。当干燥的东西粘在显示屏上时，不要用力按压。改用(Use)蒸馏水。自来水也可以，但我们不推荐它，因为它含有各种会留下条纹的矿物质。
请注意，大多数制造商会告诉您避免使用任何液体，但有时您别无选择。只要您将超细纤维(microfiber)布浸湿到足以去除讨厌的污垢点，蒸馏水就可以安全使用。不要将其喷洒或直接溅到屏幕上。将它喷在布上，直到它稍微潮湿。
或者，您可以制作和使用半蒸馏水/半醋溶液。
我们的逐步屏幕清洁(Screen Cleaning)过程
以下是有关如何使用上述建议清洁电视或显示器的简单指南：
- 关闭您的设备。深色显示屏更容易清洁，因为您可以发现所有指纹、灰尘颗粒和污垢。
- 使用(Use)罐装空气去除大部分灰尘。当您必须清洁敏感的电子设备时，压缩空气是您最好的朋友。
- 使用干燥的超细纤维布擦拭显示屏的角落并清除屏幕上的污垢和油渍。使用轻触。发现污渍时不要用力按压。这可能会造成严重损坏。
- 用蒸馏水润湿超细纤维布。(microfiber)蒸馏水是纯净的，不会留下任何痕迹。用它来清除屏幕上的干燥残留物。
- 清洁电视机或显示器的背面。你会发现那里有很多灰尘。幸运的是，它全是塑料的，所以只要不触摸屏幕，就可以使用多用途清洁液。
- 定期清洁您的设备以防止污垢堆积。
专业屏幕清洁剂——(Professional Screen Cleaners –)另一种选择(Alternative)
您可以选择市场上众多专业清洁剂中的一种，而不是使用带有超细纤维布的蒸馏水。购买无味且不含任何可能损坏电视或显示器显示屏的酒精或毒素的清洁套件或清洁溶液非常重要。所以看看我们发现的一些最好和最安全的清洁解决方案。
嗖！是一种不含酒精的显示器清洁剂。它适用于所有类型的屏幕，无论是LCD、OLED、LED还是CRT。您还可以使用它来清洁您的移动设备。事实上，这与Apple在其商店中使用的显示器清洁剂相同。它也完全无味，因此不会留下任何残留物。
EVEO是一种屏幕清洁剂，可安全用于所有类型的电视(TVs)、显示器和触摸屏设备。它非常适合去除油腻的指纹和其他顽固的污迹。请记住不要(Just)用力按压并使用包装中包含的超细纤维布。您还可以使用EVEO清洁(EVEO)其他电子产品(clean other electronic gadgets)。
如果您不想使用喷雾剂或液体，请尝试使用Care Touch的镜头和屏幕清洁湿巾。它们是单独包装的，因此当您需要清洁显示器时，总有一个方便。
Care Touch湿巾含有一些异丙醇，但含量不高。擦拭巾用于清洁所有类型的屏幕，而不会损坏抗反射涂层。作为奖励，您还可以在太阳镜和相机镜头上使用这些湿巾。
记得定期清洁
清洁电视和电脑显示器的次数越多，处理污垢和灰尘堆积的次数就越少。这样，超细纤维布也应该足够了，因为您不会有任何坚硬的污垢斑点。所以定期清洁你的屏幕，让它们闪闪发光。
How To Clean a TV or Monitor Screen (The Right Way)
Back when you used to have CRT monitors and TVs, you could clean them with almost anything. The screen was made out of glass and nothing else. That’s no longer the case with today’s LCD and OLED displays.
The modern display is a sensitive device that requires special care. You can easily damage a touchscreen if you clean it using a rough sponge or an aggressive cleaning agent. You’ll eventually scratch the screen and damage its special coatings, and you’ll end up with an inferior device that no longer takes your touch commands. This applies to any laptop, tablet, TV, phone, or another device with LCD, MicroLED, or OLED display.
In this article, we’ll teach you how to clean a tv or monitor screen the right way and we’ll also show you some of the best cleaners available.
Read the Instructions
Most people open the box, take the smart TV or monitor out, plug it in, and that’s that. They ignore the manufacturer’s instructions. Don’t skip reading those instructions. Some manufacturers offer specific cleaning product recommendations to be used with their products.
For example, Dell might recommend using 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean one of their PC monitor models, while Samsung might recommend using nothing other than a dry microfiber cloth. Despite general recommendations, you should always prioritize the manufacturer’s specific instructions. This will also help you with warranty claims.
Avoid Certain Cleaning Agents
Some screens, especially touch screens, have special coatings for protection and to reduce the amount of reflection and glare. Harsh chemicals will remove those coatings and even damage the material of the display. Don’t use any household cleaning agents.
Stay away from glass cleaning products and anything that contains ammonia, chlorine, and even alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is sometimes okay to use if specified by the manufacturer. Just make sure you pay attention to the percentage, which is usually 70% or 90%.
If you’ve been cleaning your TV or monitor with one of the aforementioned solutions, stop. Using them a few times might not cause any visible damage, but over time they’ll leave streaks once the protective coating is gone.
Use Canned Air and Microfiber Cloths
When you aren’t sure what’s safe to use, use canned air and microfiber cloths. Canned air is great for cleaning computer hardware, keyboards, as well as monitors, and TVs. It can’t cause any damage to the surface of the screen whether you’re cleaning a tablet, an OLED monitor, or an old school glass TV.
Dust gathers on the surface of your screen, especially around the edges, so start by blowing it off with compressed air. Use a high-quality microfiber cloth to move the stubborn dust particles when the compressed air isn’t enough. All you need is a light touch. Don’t press too hard on the display or you can damage it.
It’s very important to use microfiber cloth only. It’s soft enough not to scratch the screen or damage any of the protective coatings. Don’t use paper towels or tissues because they contain little loose fibers that can cause small scratches.
Use Distilled Water to Remove Dry Dirt
Sometimes canned air and dry microfiber cloth aren’t enough to remove stubborn particles. Don’t press extra hard when something dry is stuck to the display. Use distilled water instead. Tap water would also work, but we don’t recommend it because it contains all sorts of minerals that will leave streaks behind.
Take note that most manufacturers will tell you to avoid using any liquids, but sometimes you just don’t have a choice. Distilled water is safe to use as long as you just dampen the microfiber cloth enough to remove that pesky spot of dirt. Don’t spray it or splash it directly on your screen. Spray it on the cloth until it’s slightly damp.
Alternatively, you can make and use a half distilled water/half vinegar solution.
Our Step-By-Step Screen Cleaning Process
Here’s a simple guide on how to clean your TV or monitor by using the advice above:
- Turn off your devices. A dark display is much easier to clean because you can spot all the fingerprints, dust particles, and grime.
- Use canned air to dislodge most of the dust. Compressed air is your best friend when you have to clean sensitive electronics.
- Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the corners of the display and remove the dirt and oils from the screen. Use a light touch. Don’t press hard when you find a stain. This can cause serious damage.
- Dampen the microfiber cloth with distilled water. Distilled water is pure and won’t leave any marks. Use it to clean dry residues off your screen.
- Clean the back of the TV or monitor. You’ll find a lot of dust there. Fortunately, it’s all plastic, so you can use a multipurpose cleaning solution as long as you don’t touch the screen.
- Clean your devices on a regular basis to prevent grime from accumulating.
Professional Screen Cleaners – An Alternative
Instead of using distilled water with a microfiber cloth, you can opt for one of the many professional cleaners available on the market. It’s important to buy a cleaning kit or cleaning solution that is odorless and without any alcohol or toxins that could damage a TV or monitor display. So take a look at some of the best and safest cleaning solutions we’ve found.
WHOOSH! is an alcohol-free display cleaner. It’s suitable for all types of screens, whether they’re LCD, OLED, LED, or CRT. You can also use it to clean your mobile devices. In fact, this is the same display cleaner that Apple uses in its stores. It’s also completely odorless, so it won’t leave any residues.
EVEO is a screen cleaner safe to use on all types of TVs, monitors, and touchscreen devices. It’s great for removing greasy fingerprints and other stubborn smudges. Just remember not to press hard and use the microfiber cloth that’s included in the package. You can also use EVEO to clean other electronic gadgets.
If you don’t want to use sprays or liquids, try the lens and screen cleaning wipes from Care Touch. They’re individually packed, so when you need to clean a display, you always have one handy.
Care Touch wipes contain some isopropyl alcohol, but not in an amount that should be dangerous. The wipes are made for cleaning all types of screens without damaging the anti-reflection coating. As a bonus, you can also use these wipes on sunglasses and camera lenses.
Remember to Clean Regularly
The more often you clean your TV and computer monitor, the less you’ll have to deal with a build-up of grime and dust. This way a microfiber cloth should also be enough because you won’t have any tough dirt spots. So clean your screens regularly and keep them sparkling.
