What to use to clean a big screen , screen.
 

I am cleaning house and am about to clean the screen on the bg screen I don't have a protecter over it so it is just the screen. I just want to make sure I on't mess the screen up in any way. What do I use? Thanks

I talked the the owner of the local Sony store, and this is what I got:

If your screen is dirty (smudging, fingerprints, etc) wash with ditstilled water with a caouple drops of ivory liquid soap. Rinse with distilled water, and dry.

If no smudges and you are just dusting, skip straight to the rinse and dry.

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a package of clean cloth diapers to use. I use one to wash, and a second to dry. I think it ws like $6 for 6 diapers.

I also turn the diaper frequently while washing, to expose a clean area of the cloth and not continue to rub dust against the screen.

thanks

I am not sure about the Ivory soap. I use a microfiber cloth (something like you would clean glasses with) and if I need moisture, I spray a bottle of water directly onto the cloth. This seems to get all smudges off. Do not spray on the screen as the runoff could get down inside of the cabinet.

The rep told me 1-2 drops of an organic soap, and i believe Ivory is a very mild soap. Also that is 1-2 drops highly diluted (like in a sinkful) of water. The rep. says this is what they use at home to clean of dogg-nose prints.

Like I siad, I use a clean diaper and pure water. ( I also have a well with high mineral content, so I use the last of a bottle of water)

Diapers are damn expensive to be used as single-use wipes. Are there any other alternatives that won't cause micro-scratching?

monster actually makes a big screen cleaning kit for $20. has specail cleaner, wipes, and a few other things in it. its actually very nice.

I don't single use them. I would use 2 (one to wash, one to dry) and then throw them in the washer to use next time. Maybe this is bad? :confused:

I do it the old fashioned way grab a single paper towel and some glass cleaner and spray the top portion only. I use the single towel to get every nook and cranny on the screen, I own a 2 year old RCA F38310 Direct Tube.:)

Off topic I use Ivory Snow liquid on 'new' DVD discs before playing them.
