If you're squinting while watching your favorite shows due to fingerprints and dust covering your flat screen, it's time to give your TV a clean-up. Regularly cleaning your QLED screen is beneficial, but it’s crucial to have the proper tools and techniques to avoid damaging the TV. Today, Mytour will answer common questions about cleaning QLED screens and the back of your Samsung TV to make it look as new as the first day.

Microfiber cloth is the best solution to prevent scratches. If you don't have a microfiber cloth, you can also use a glass cleaning cloth. Make sure the cloth is clean and free from dust before you begin wiping the TV.

• Try cleaning the TV screen with a clean, dry microfiber cloth designed for glass. This material will remove most fingerprints and dust.

Use distilled water and wipe gently. Most TVs don’t require harsh cleaning chemicals. Typically, you can apply a small amount of distilled water to a cloth and gently wipe the screen to remove dust and lint.

No, Windex is a relatively strong chemical for TV screens. You can use Windex to clean older TVs, but LED screens are typically more sensitive. Use water or a specialized cleaner designed for LED TV screens to avoid damage from the ammonia in Windex.

• Additionally, avoid using products like Clorox multi-purpose wipes, wet wipes, and paper towels, as these materials can damage your QLED screen.

Unplug the TV. Warm temperatures can make cleaning more difficult. Before starting, unplug the TV and wait for 2 to 3 minutes to let the device cool down.

Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the screen. Take a clean, dry microfiber cloth and gently wipe the screen in small circular motions. Be sure to apply light pressure and avoid pressing too hard. The goal is to remove most of the dust and lint during this step. However, if a few marks remain, don't worry.

Spray water onto the cloth and wipe again. Never spray directly onto the TV screen; instead, mist a small amount of water onto the cloth to dampen it. Continue wiping the screen in small circular motions to avoid damaging the LED lights underneath. Wipe the entire screen to remove any streaks or smudges.

Dry the screen with a clean cloth. If you’ve used a damp cloth, don’t forget to dry the screen with a fresh, clean cloth. Wipe the entire screen again with a new cloth, gently pressing to absorb any moisture.

Allow the screen to air dry completely before plugging it back in. If you turn the TV on while the screen is still wet, water will dry and leave streaks. Instead, leave the TV to dry naturally for about 15 minutes before using it.

Use a diluted dish soap solution. If you're dealing with stubborn stains that are tough to wipe away, mix some water with a few drops of dishwashing soap in a bowl. Stir until the soap is well diluted, then dip a cloth into the solution, ensuring the cloth is slightly damp.

Gently wipe the fingerprints with the soapy cloth. Whether you're cleaning smudges or fingerprints, always wipe gently and avoid applying too much pressure. Use small circular motions to clean the screen effectively.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Plug in the vacuum and attach the long hose to the nozzle. Turn the vacuum on and carefully suck up the dust and hair from the back and sides of the TV. Take your time and proceed with caution to avoid damaging the TV.
