My instructions say that I shouldn't clean computer screens of LCDs with the vacuum, does anyone know why? |

Sandy, How strange but we just bought a new Sony and they told us the same thing about the screen. |

Jamie, I am with Shelly. I did not do it because they told us not to but I have been cleaning my Zenith TV screens for years with the dusting brush so no it was not obvious to me either. Now we know. |

All of the newer TV screens are extremely delicate. The old style Tube TV's you could use a vacuum dusting brush and Windex. My parents years ago bought a projection TV the store told them not to clean the screen. The newer screens don't get near as dirty as old screens because their is little to no static electricity, however they are paper thin, and sensitive to anything. A vacuum with strong suction can easily suck the dusting brush to the screen and have the plastic interior touch the screen.
I think some of the Swifter dusters can do the screens, check your owners manual or talk to Best Buy. But this is one thing that our wonderful vacuums don't have domain of anymore. |

I have never really read through the manual as to how to clean any of the flat screen LCD TV's we have in the house but I have vacuumed all of them with then central vac and horse hair dusting brush without a problem. We bought a very pricey 52" TOL SONY LED TV about a year and a half ago and I have always cleaned it with the dusting brush, I won't use a microfiber cloth on it becuase I worry that something may be stuck in the fibers from a previous use even though they have been machine washed and dried. None of my televisions have any marks on their screens and all look just as good now as when they were new. I guess it depends on what the brush is made of and how gently you clean them.

The REBEL in me has cleaned my tv screens with the dusting brush too Shelly. One is plasma and one is LCD........I don't do it often, but I've done it a few times.
I know they are sensitive - but check this out I woke up one night to my cat "Shadow" sitting on the tv stand scratching at the TV screen! I don't know how long she had been doing it or WHY she was doing it, but it woke me up. There isn't a scratch on it. I've since put a device there so that when she jumps up there it alarms, so she doesn't get up there anymore - I did the same thing with my kitchen counters. |

Always cleaned every screen in my house with a natural bristle dusting brush, never had a problem from CRT to LCD. If you're careful you shouldn't have any problems at all. |

...here as well. If computer monitor has a smudge, a little Windex on soft cloth cleans it nicely. Haven't had any issues. Joe |
