Clean your television properly

Sometimes you will not even notice that your television is covered with dust until somebody brushes over its surface incidentally.

Big and small clean ups

There are two ways to clean your TV the small method contains only a dry cotton towel. Just whipe your TV and you’re done with it. This procedure should be repeated about once a week. The big method is a little bit more work but can be done within 10 minutes. It should be repeated about every sedond or third month.

Safety first

If you’re proceeding the big method you should always unplug your TV before starting.

The screen

Older fasioned TV’s with glass screens can be cleaned with glass cleaner and a paper towel.

If you posess a newer TV especially flat screens are covered with special coatings, e.g. anti-glare coatings. Those TV’s should only be cleaned with any with liquids especially designed for this purpose or – even bettere – just use a damp cotton cloth. I you are not sure if your TV has any special coatings, be on the save side and just pretend it does.

The body

The body of a PC is mostly off some sort of plastic hence a damp cotton cloth will suffice to clean it properly. Never use any sharp liquids or acids on plastic it might damage the surface or leave unpretty staining.

Cords

Check the cords that they find their way straight into the outlet. They should not be a tangled mass. Arrange them so it is rather easy to see where which cord belongs. Watch out that the cords are not bend too much. 135 degree is OK more only if absolutely necessary to prevent cable break.

Outlets

Never ever bring any liquid close to an outlet. If you want to clean the outlet do it with a dry paper towel.

No goes

Never ever clean any electrical devise while it is plugged in.

Never use any sprays on your television. The fine dust might intrude into small chinks where it shouldn’t go and could cause electrical damage.
