Mrs Hinch fans share 50p hack for leaving TV screens clean with NO marks

THERE'S nothing worse than sitting down to watch your favourite show, only to find that the TV screen is smeared and dirty.

But cleaning the screen is a delicate job, and one that should be done without any products at all.

At least that's the advice given to one woman, who asked for tips on cleaning her screen on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks group on Facebook.

"Can anybody recommend something that cleans the TV screen without leaving marks please?” she asked.

She quickly received messages from hundreds of cleaning fanatics on the group, all of whom suggested using a plain microfibre cloth on the screen.

"A Minky green glass cloth, tiny bit damp, no products and dry to buff," one person wrote.

Someone else added: "I have a cleaning business and don’t use any products on screens.

“Clean when they are cold. Damp cloth run all over and a dry one to buff it off. No streaks.”

Another cleaner concurred, writing: "Please don’t use any products, just a damp microfibre cloth is best.

“I’m a cleaner and this is what I do, I will never use any product on a TV.”

"I’ve had my TV for two years and never once cleaned it," someone else commented.

“Just lightly brush over it with a clean microfibre cloth to pick up any dust and that’s it.”

And given that microfibre clothes are readily available in shops for around 50p each, the hack is a cheap way to give you a clean screen in seconds.
