I just use a steel wool and a good half a can of acetone about once a month! For some reason the picture and screen get worse every time, but I know in my head that it's clean as a whistle! The swirls made by the steel wool look really cool when hippie flipping! It all works out in the end! 👍💪💯 SARCASM!!!!..... BEING FACETIOUS!😉😜
I'm about to try your steel wool and acetone method since my 75 inch samsung still looks filthy after soaking it with bleach and pressure washing it with 4200 PSI. PSI STANDS for "please soak it" right?
Purchased a new Samsung 7000 a year ago, so thanks for the info confirming their simple process to clean the screen. Samsung - 65” Class CU7000 Crystal UHD 4K Smart Tizen TV. Walmart price $477.99. For sure the best TV I’ve ever had since 1953 or 70yrs. The Superbowl was outstanding! Actually every thing I watch is great viewing. Great info!
Also note, don’t use baby wipes as they will leave residue on your screen and streak it, also no disinfecting wipes as they will leave residue on your screen. Just a helpful hint that will save you hassle and aggravation !!!
I don't recommend cleaning your TV screen while it is on. TVs produce heat and when you wipe with a wet cloth it causes a rapid change in temperature (thermal stress). Especially for OLED because the screens are so thin can damage the screen. You should turn the TV off for a good 15 minutes so the TV cools down as the manufacturer intends before cleaning with water.
My tv screen looked clean untill the sun shine on the black screen when it's off. Thick and very thin streaks like someone tried to scratch the tv with a object . Only cleaned with a dry fibre cloth and distilled water. The tv is wall mounted and im not sure where these streaks came from.
We have vertical streaks on our LG OLED. I have been using a Swiffer to lightly and gently dust the tv for years. When the sun hits the screen you only then see the streaks. Will this technique work here as well? Thank you!
It depends what the streaks are. Dirt and grime are fairly easy to remove, oil stains less so. I’ve only ever used a very soft microfibre cloth to clean the screens on all my TVs. If anything was stuck on it I’d only ever use a drop of water.
For me I don’t get too hung up on water type. Distilled is just the recommendation from those who make the TV. I don’t think it’s worth the effort and I’d have no problem using purified water.
I’ve heard to use distilled water not tap water because tap water has minerals and other contaminants that will leave micro scratches. Also with LIGHT pressure wipe in a circular motion otherwise it will also leave scratches as I’ve experience this on car paint or PPF trying to remove bird poop drops. 😅 I feel most will just buy a pack of Kirkland microfibers but maybe there is a softer one to avoid scratches. Is there a brand anyone recommends?
@@TheReviewFella ok that only I intended to do...for smudges and all I have a different cloth and liquid which I'll wash if smudge is present...but for dry dust I was asking?
I use 3 micro fibre cloths the first one I dry wipe to remove dust residue the second cloth I hold slightly over boiling water to minimally dampen then wipe the screen gently in a circular motion the third cloth then does the final polish hey presto a brand new screen
there used to be professional spray cleaner for CRT (can be used glass panels such as oled as well). It was from philips and smells like coconut. this stuff was amazing but it costed arround 60 dutch guilders at that time. It was available for retailers and manufacturers at philips. i wish this stuff was available again all i found was spectral spray from spectral, wich is pro and by far the best cleaner.
I don't know that distilled water is such a good choice. I read a few science articles about it. Apparently, at the point of bottling, distilled water is pH neutral, with a pH of 7. However, once it gets to the air it can get slightly acidic, from absorbing the air. I've used a small amount of tap water on a microfibre cloth, with no problems. It's safe to drink, so it shouldn't cause any problems, unless the pH of the tap water is acidic (which I know it can be.) I just make sure to use a dry side of the cloth after I've used the damp side, to ensure there's no water left on the screen.
Thanks for the info. I think the screens are more resilient than we sometimes think they are. And yes, I’m sure a spot of good clean tap water works just as well.
Distilled water is only very slightly acidic, you are correct, but it is nothing to worry about. However, tap water has minerals in it and so when your clean your TV the water evaporates but the minerals are left behind. This is what the streaks are made of. Distilled water has no minerals so it gives a streak-free finish.
Does anyone know how to remove oily look alike blue smudge, literaly day 2 on my S90C, i noticed some fingerprints today, and i just tried to clean with that fiber that u use for glasses, fingerprints were gone but blue smudges appeared, not rly big, around 10 cm but annoing when u see it on natural light, on evening , in dark u dont see it ever. I know it is probably anti reflective coating but just want to remove it if i can without getting it worse, cause some guys literaly made 20 times worse when tried to remove it.
Actually you need a flashlight, but you can use your smartphone’s flashlight. Shine the light on your tv screen while it’s off and you’ll see it’s still dirty after you’ve thought you’d cleaned it.

That sounded painful!! 🤣🤣🤣
Very funny sir pull other one.
Gotta get deep down clean. Put your back into it.

I learned the hard way Have scratches now but can only see them from angle only 3 tiny ones watched this video worked perfectly thanks so much

Thanks!
I’ve used glass cleanser on my LG OLED for years now. Never had an issue and it gets it really clean and streak free
If it works for you then ok, but probably not recommended by the manufacturer. Depending on your TV and the material it's made from.
I don't recommend cleaning your TV screen while it is on. TVs produce heat and when you wipe with a wet cloth it causes a rapid change in temperature (thermal stress). Especially for OLED because the screens are so thin can damage the screen. You should turn the TV off for a good 15 minutes so the TV cools down as the manufacturer intends before cleaning with water.
Totally agree!

Thick and very thin streaks like someone tried to scratch the tv with a object .
Only cleaned with a dry fibre cloth and distilled water.
The tv is wall mounted and im not sure where these streaks came from.
@The Review Fella Great comprehensive video. What classic painting video is that? Looks cool.
Thanks. It’s the LG OLED art gallery screensaver that’s installed by default.
@@TheReviewFella Thanks. Will check it out. Keep up the good work.

I think the streaks are from dusting the screen from using a swiffer duster which probably has a chemical that allows dust to attach to the swiffer.
Is purified water another option if you don’t have distilled water?
For me I don’t get too hung up on water type. Distilled is just the recommendation from those who make the TV. I don’t think it’s worth the effort and I’d have no problem using purified water.
Excellent advice as usual.
Thank you. Very much appreciated.

I just chose a soft cloth from Amazon. The screens are quite hardy and any very soft microfibre cloth will do a good job.
Sir do I have to wash the cloth after every cleaning session or can I perform 2 to 3 cleans after which I can wash the cloth.
If I’m just removing dust, I just shake the cloth outside to remove the collected dust.
@@TheReviewFella ok that only I intended to do...for smudges and all I have a different cloth and liquid which I'll wash if smudge is present...but for dry dust I was asking?
What if I just want to wipe of dirt? I use Swiffer Duster, is it okay to use it? Somewhere I read it contains mineral oil...
I’d just use a microfibre cloth which can easily be machine washed afterwards. Not familiar with that duster.
@@TheReviewFella Well it's easier to use a duster. Just some wipes. I only use microfibre cloth when the screen is smudgy.
I use 3 micro fibre cloths the first one I dry wipe to remove dust residue the second cloth I hold slightly over boiling water to minimally dampen then wipe the screen gently in a circular motion the third cloth then does the final polish hey presto a brand new screen
Sounds good to me.

Can you use Ajax?
Not something I have tried, sorry.
Try it, let me know.
Great vid , helped a lot
Glad it helped
I've heard that those thick and super soft car-cleaning cloths work better for OLED. Is it true?
Never tried one. I only ever use the cloth as in the video.

What’s an example of a non-soap cleaner?
They’re usually free of fats and alkaline ingredients. They’re often marketed as the gentler cleansers for sensitive skin.
I’ve used whoosh cleaner for my tv and phone screen. And that stuff on my phone makes the screen look out of the box and removes caked on dust on tvs

Exactly same situation with my Q90R.. did you find a solution?
Same issue for me, any fixes? Seems common for the Samsung OLEDs
Actually you need a flashlight, but you can use your smartphone’s flashlight. Shine the light on your tv screen while it’s off and you’ll see it’s still dirty after you’ve thought you’d cleaned it.
Good idea. That’s also how I found out I had left the screen protector on my Samsung TV.
Same shit when I cleaned my brand new 43” Roku tv and when I shined the light on the screen it was still dusty.
A coworker in IT swears by 1 part white vinegar and 1 part distilled water. He uses it on phones, scanners and monitors. 👀
Interesting mix but I think vinegar is a bit strong. But heavily diluted, I guess it could work. Not tried that one.
Works
How about using a t-shirt
Metallica, Iron Maiden or White Snake T shirts recommended 👍🏻
Perfect @@TheReviewFella
I just spray rubbing alcohol on and use a hand towel.
TV's nowadays come with coating on it you do not want to use rubbing alcohol. It will deteriorate your screen
Cat fight in the lounge-- how do you clean !@#$ cat spray off the screen?!
No apple cider vinegar om my oily smuges
Nor mine.
Wish I could hire some one for 25 euro this shit is giving me a stroke I tryed with microfiber gonna buy destilled water tomorrow
Thank you
You're welcome
