Clean A Big Screen Protector

Big screen protectors, also called screen shields, are hard plastic covers that are attached to some large screen projection TVs to keep their soft screens from getting damaged by bumps, spills or fingerprints. The quickest way to tell if your screen has one of these protectors on it is to tap on it gently with one of your knuckles. If a loud knocking sound echoes back, your screen has a protector on it. If you don't hear anything much and the screen bulges inward slightly do not use these cleaning methods; your screen has no protector on it.

Instructions








1. Check and see if your screen protector is permanently attached to your TV. Look at the back of the set and see if there are any straps or buckles securing it. If there are, disconnect them and pull the screen protector off by standing in front of the screen and pulling it toward you from the top down. Don't try to force your screen protector off if it doesn't budge. It could be glued on.


2. Buy a gallon of distilled water at your local supermarket. Pour half of the contents of the jug into a plastic mixing bowl. Drop a clean microfiber cloth into the water until it is totally saturated. Pull it out and squeeze it tightly from end to end so it is fairly damp but not dripping.


3. Lay the cloth out flat in front of you. Fold it so the left and right edges meet. Then fold it from top to bottom, matching up these edges. You now have a reasonably even rectangle.








4. Place your cloth at the top left of your TV's screen protector. Move the cloth from left to right. When you reach the right edge, move the cloth down 4 inches. Then proceed from right to left. Use gentle pressure as you wipe. Scrub using the cloth's corner if there is any stuck-on debris. Continue until you've wiped the entire screen protector. If you removed it from the TV, wipe both the inside and outside.


5. Use your second microfiber cloth to dry your screen protector. Due to the nature of the cloth, it should not leave any lint behind. Don't touch the protector with your hands. Even the cleanest of hands can leave fingerprints.
