A stain on the TV/Monitor Screen cannot be cleaned easily.
No title

Symptom

A Stain (ex: fingerprints, handprints, etc.) on the TV screen cannot be cleaned easily.

* Even if the customer wipes it with a fabric material (microfiber cloth), there are still stains.

 

Cause

If there is a stain on the screen caused by oil or sodium, it will not be easily removed.

 

Solution

If the screen has stains from oil or sodium, try the following steps sequentially:

* Make sure that turn off and unplug the TV power cord from the wall socket before try it.

  1. Gently wipe the stain with a dry microfiber cleaning cloth.
  2. Gently wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and dry it off with a dry microfiber cloth.
  3. Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth dampened with a small amount of 70% ethanol, and then dry it off with a dry cleaning microfiber cloth

 

 

Caution

  • Be careful not to let the water run down or wet the cloth too much. Damp a cleaning microfiber cloth with a little water (a few drops). Ensure that any water and humidity has been removed before plugging the TV back in.
  • Be careful not to rub with excessive force during cleaning.
  • Do not spray water/ethanol directly on the panel.
  • Be cautious not to let water/ethanol enter the bottom of the product.
  • Do not wipe the edges of the product with water/ethanol. (The film may lift.)
  • Use 70% ethanol (Over the Counter Drug). No high concentration ethanol or other ingredients such as surfactants should be included.
  • Apply ethanol only locally where there are stains and immediately wipe off the ethanol (Secondary staining may occur).
  • TVs/Monitors with the low reflection panel: Most stains can be cleaned with a 3M ProGrip 2000 glove. If there are still stains left, try the steps above sequentially.
