Do you know that you may be cleaning your TV all wrong? That's because most new TVs that have LED, OLED, and LCD screens shouldn't be cleaned with glass cleaner or water. The anti-glare on these TVs cannot be mixed with a wet spray. Mind blown!
Even the most natural glass cleaner that is ammonia-free isn't great for TVs (Unless you have an older TV, then use that glass cleaner freely!). Instead, it is recommended to clean newer LCD and plasma TVs with only a microfiber cloth. Microfiber is pretty awesome — it is made with high-quality absorbent materials that will attach to and lift off most everything from almost any type of surface you want to clean, without leaving streaks behind. That’s because this synthetic material holds a positive charge, which acts like a magnet to attract negatively charged particles. Rather than simply smearing dirt around, the filament fibers pull up and grab hold of microscopic dust, grimy oils, and even germs (or at least all the yucky stuff germs may cling to).
If there's a nasty smudge your microfiber cloth just can't pick up, you can wet the cloth slightly to get it off or look for a specific TV and electronics cleaning wipe to get the job done. But use these techniques sparingly!
Some people have questioned whether glass cleaner can be used as a disinfectant to kill germs. It would make life a lot easier if you could use one cleaner for glass and other surfaces, but, unfortunately, glass cleaner isn't actually a proven disinfectant that kills all germs.
Glass cleaner, specifically glass cleaner with ammonia, has not been approved by the EPA as a registered disinfectant. Ammonia may kill some viruses, like salmonella, but it is not effective against all germs and viruses like registered disinfectants are.
So how do you disinfect glass? Well, try using a registered disinfectant first and then a streak-free glass cleaner and microfiber cloth to get rid of the streaks for a nice, clean glass shine.
Have you ever had that one smudge on your car window that just won't go away? It might be because you haven't been using the right glass cleaner for your car windows.
Car windows and windshields, especially tinted windows, actually respond best to non-ammonia glass cleaner. That's because ammonia can fog and break down tint over time ... not to mention it's pretty bad for the planet and for you and your family.
