*For the distilled or tap water comments:* Most people are hearing other people suggest distilled water. Other people also suggest alcohol based products, or alcohol itself, even though it's a fact that it harms our TVs. Using distilled water besides tap water depends on your perosnal preference but it's not an requirement. Water is rarely needed regardless since a dry microfiber cloth cleans the everyday finger prints and dust. Keep in mind *we should never add any liquid directly to our TVs.* Even when we use water it's not to wet the TV at all. Only a small account of water (like one mist of water) is needed on the microfiber cloth.

[@Thisfutureman]

Or they say water with a little bit of vinegar

[@dpirate]

That's not necessary at all.

[@Garrysullivanjones]

My tv finishes with streaks after I wipe it with micro cloth . It’s a Samsung. How many minutes should I spend cleaning my 55 inch panel . Modern panels are very hard to clean vs the old school tubes , analog

[@dpirate]

Only takes a 1 minute or two. Add a very small amount of water (one mist spray from a bottle is the best way) when needed for the harder to remove stuff.

[@bree_amputee]

Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@shaniebutt]

I can’t believe there are 7 minutes 10min 16 minutes videos on how to properly wipe your TVs 😂you Sir!! Thank you less than 2 minutes Done

Simple and yet an easy tutorial, we need more videos from people like you man. Thankyou!!

[@dpirate]

Thank You! I really appreciate the feedback.

[@Core610]

Before watching your video I used Windex Vinegar and it left streaks. After I used your method of just a little bit regular water on the microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen then a dry microfiber towel to gently buff it out. Now it looks good.

[@dpirate]

Great! Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone.

[@dudevinman167]

[@actfray]

Outstanding! I used regular water and a microfiber cloth, and it got the job done. My Vizio screen is streak-free again! Thank you for the easy advice.

[@dpirate]

Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@user-hu4dy2hp6o]

Oh man, you killed it! Thank you! Your video helped me quickly, easily and inexpensively clean off the many sticky food, whole hand prints by my baby grandson on my 75 in Samsung TV. My local Pavilions carried the distilled water for $1.29/gallon. I changed out the microfiber cleaning cloths for clean ones as they picked up the grime. I used 1 cup distilled water for the entire job. You’re amazing, and the best!

[@mickyvee8584]

Thank you. Tried all morning with different methods on my 75" Q90R none worked, tried this and worked perfectly, especially the small amount water on cloth. Thanks again.

[@dpirate]

Prefect! Happy I could help.

[@truthx7]

i tried this on the q80r and this doesnt work.your room might not actually be bright enough to see the steaks that are actually there when light hits the screen.the anti reflective layer was meant to combat reflection in bright areas but get defeated by the streaks that 99% of these cleaning methods leave behind.

As promised i am back to let you know how it worked (original post is below this one still).. I got the microfiber cloths and it worked perfectly.. Cleaned it completely.. Shiny.. Didn't have to use the water part.. Thanks so much.. 1 more question how long does 1 cloth last?? I had gotten a 6 pack of them off of Amazon.. More the n perfect job.. Actually watched some 4K movies over the weekend.. Blew me away.. So can only imagine how great it will be now after the smudges are gone.. Thanks again.. We send our best and well wishes to you and yours.. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

[@dpirate]

Prefect, thank you so much for the update! As long as the cloth stays clean it'll last a very long time. I bought two and since I made this video I've only used one. It's rare that we have to use this method again unless someones touching the screen. So usually after one good clean the clothes there just to knock off dust really. Shaking the dust off the cloth after and storing it in a dry place should help it last even longer.

[@markandmandyd7445]

@Jungle Man No.. I had used water.. But the cloth that dpirate suggested worked wonders.. Love 4K..

Like your succinct, expert video minute to help the rest of us. My toddler grandson got many food handprints on my 75 inch TV screen, when my daughter was with him. I have microfiber cleaning cloths. How best to tackle the dried food handprints?

[@dpirate]

It may take time but you should be able to peel what's dried on the TV off by hand then clean it normally with the steps in this video. Have a couple clean microfiber cloths on standby since they'll most likely become dirty fast on the first clean.

dpirate damn, nice quick reply.. I just used your method and I still have some streaks.. although my tv isn’t curved lol idk where I went wrong

[@dpirate]

If you used water it sounds like you may used too much. Also it *has* to be a microfiber cloth only. Not a microfiber sponge and anything else. To give you an idea of what a microfiber cloth is so there's no confusion.. they're mainly used to hand dry cars after a wash and found in the car wash section of stores. As long as you have a microfiber cloth you can use it dry really. Water is only needed for anything *that's not* the usual dust and finger prints. Even when we add water it should be just enough so the cloth can air dry within minutes. If you can squeeze the water out, it's too much water.
