How do I clean fingerprints and greasy smudges off the screen? To clean fingerprints and greasy smudges off your TV screen, use a small amount of water or Isopropyl alcohol and gently rub the screen with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
Wipe down the screen and case well with a Clorox wipe or a slightly damp microfibre cloth with water. Dry it off with a polish cloth and your screen will look just like the day you bought it! Dust and fingerprints are inevitable so make sure you always have a swiffer and polish cloth on hand.
Vinegar. White vinegar is a versatile and gentle natural cleaner that helps remove fingerprint stains. Use a spray bottle to apply the vinegar directly to the surface or use it to dampen a soft microfiber cloth.
Make a solution of equal parts water and vinegar (or water with a tiny amount of dish soap). Dampen a cloth in the solution and gently wipe the screen. Again, rubbing and scrubbing will damage the screen.
Avoid Harmful Chemicals. Alcohol and ammonia, found in window cleaners such as Windex, can wreak havoc on your expensive flat-screen TV, so don't use cleaners that have them.
Windex® Electronics Wipes gently remove smudges, fingerprints and dust, leaving behind only streak-free shine. Use them to clean smartphones, tablets, e-readers, laptops, cameras, televisions and more.

Or, use a white vinegar solution (1/4 cup mixed with one gallon of water). Soak the cloth, wring it out and wipe fingerprints off the sliding glass door. Buff with a dry microfibre cloth.
For general cleaning of the frame and screen of your TV, you should use a soft, clean, lint-free, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfibre cloth. You should never use any type of window cleaner, soap, scouring powder, or any cleanser with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, ammonia, or paint thinner.
It's even good for screens. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part distilled water. Put it into a spray bottle and grab your microfiber cloth. It's about time to get that screen taken care of.
Although submersion of an item does not enhance the possibility of recovering readable prints, it does not eliminate the possibility either. Studies have shown that fingerprints can be recovered from certain surfaces (metal, glass, and plastics) after being submerged for days.
Just cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the surface to remove fingerprints and grime. For extra cleaning power, mix lemon juice with either salt, baking soda or cream of tartar.
Use sandpaper to sand-down your fingerprints, alternatively you can 'bathe' your fingers in heavy cleaning detergents (such as linoleum-floor-stripper) to let fingerprints dissipate. Understand that you won't be able to completely remove fingerprints.
Losing fingerprints as you age
The ridges of your fingerprints will become thicker, which means there's less space between them. That can make fingerprints become an unreadable blur when placed on a scanner, especially if you apply pressure.
Try baby wipes! Since these are designed to clean skin, they can often break down the oils in fingerprints and clean them off surprisingly well.
Upon the first wipe of baking soda and water paste, it was like magic… like cleaning a stain you know won't come off but it was right before your very eyes. The prints hardheadedly stayed before and now it's just gone. Gone, gone, gone.
