Cleaning the Plasma Screen
July 15, 2007
Plasma screens are so glossy, so shiny that they tend to get some dust or finger prints quite often. Cleaning a plasma TV screen should be done carefully considering its high price.
When you try to clean its screen, you need to be careful over two things: first, the product you use should not scratch screen. Using even paper towels or gentle toilet paper may scratch the screen.
Secondly, your plasma TV might have anti-reflective coating on the glass. If you use certain cleaners which contain ammonia, they can damage this protective coating of the screen.
If at all you decide to clean your Plasma TV screen, the first thing you can do is to consult the manual given by the manufacturer. It often gives you instructions about how your plasma screen should be cleaned.
Always use pure cotton or some fibre of finest quality. Avoid using anything made of paper to wipe the screen.
Anti-reflective layer on your plasma screen prevents glare in bright rooms. So, care should be taken when you clean the screen so that this layer is not damaged. Cleaners containing ammonia react with this protective layer and damage it. Never use ammonia-based cleaners. When you buy cleaners, see whether they have ammonia in them.
Most of the dirt can be removed just by rubbing over the area with a dry cotton cloth or wiper made of microfiber. If the dirt is not removed then, use wet cloth to clean the area. You may also use some mild detergent when you clean the screen with a wet cloth. However, the manual book should be consulted before doing so.
