# Cleaning TV screens: soapy water safe only in small amounts 2026-08-13T08:45:07+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Modern LED, OLED, and QLED TVs come with delicate anti-glare coatings that require careful cleaning. Using soapy water is not recommended directly, but a very small amount of mild dish soap mixed with distilled water can be used for stubborn stains, provided the cloth is wrung thoroughly and only slightly damp. Never spray liquid directly on the screen or use glass cleaners, paper towels, rough cloths, or household sprays, as they can strip coatings or allow moisture inside. A clean, dry microfiber cloth is the safest option for routine dust removal. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: electronics maintenance, household tips, microfiber cloth, screen care, soapy water, TV cleaning Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cleaning-tv-screens-soapy-water-safe-only-in-small-amounts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
