  • APC safe cleaning tv?

    Is APC safe to use for cleaning lcd tv screens?

  • #2
    Yikes that sounds a little risky. I would just slightly dampen a microfiber with water and give it a quick wipe.

      Read the TV manual first. A lot of TV have some sort of coating, say anti-glare coating. I would follow ChevyNick suggestion.

          Television screens are sensitive to chemicals. I would use a %30 solution if Isopropyl Alcohol to wipe it down, and very lightly with a quality microfiber towel.

            I would suggest Optimum No Rinse at Clay lube strength first..
            I tried that and it is fine on my LCD, but dont use too much liquid or it may enter at the gap and short circuit ur device!

              Monster makes a specific tv screen cleaner that you can get at best buy for around 20 bucks. It comes with a bottle of cleaner and a special cloth. $20 might sound like a lot but the guy at best buy told me that his bottle has lasted a couple years now. Just make sure you don't clean it when it is on or warm. Probably best to do it first thing in the morning before you turn it on for the day

                A microfiber and some distilled water should clean just about any screen. If not I'd probably pony up for an electronics cleaner. No sense in ruining something trying to save a few dollars.

                  We'd hold off on the APC even though at 10:1 it should be fine. A better and safer bet all around would be Quik Interior Detailer as we know it's safe to use even on in car navigation screens and those are usually coated with a fairly delicate coating. Just spray it lightly onto a folded microfiber towel and wipe the screen, then flip to a dry side of the towel and wipe again. This is preferable to spraying it directly onto the screen, and you really don't want anything to self dry on the screen.

                    I use detailer line of window cleaner. Make sure the screen is off and cool. I do mine in the morning before anyone is up. Spritz on the microfiber and not the screen, wipe, and wipe dry with clean side.
