Can I use Universal Cleaner on TV, monitor, or laptop screens?Updated 10 days ago

Modern TV, monitor, laptop, tablet, and phone screens carry delicate factory-applied coatings: anti-glare layers, oleophobic (fingerprint-resistant) coatings, and scratch-resistant films. These coatings are sensitive to cleaning chemistry. Koh Universal Cleaner is a higher alkaline solution designed for hard, non-coated household surfaces. It can strip or cloud screen coatings over time, and any liquid near ports, speakers, or seams can damage the electronics inside. The same applies to e-readers, smartwatches, and any device with a coated display. Use a dry Glass Cloth for the screen itself.

Start with a clean, dry Koh Glass Cloth. Turn the screen off (dust shows up better against a dark surface and avoids the risk of a wet cloth touching a live screen). Wipe in straight lines from top to bottom with light pressure. For stubborn smudges, and only where your manufacturer's care guide allows, lightly mist distilled water onto the cloth (never directly onto the screen) and wipe gently, then immediately buff dry with a second clean cloth. Never use tap water (mineral deposits leave streaks), ammonia-based glass cleaners, alcohol wipes, or any alkaline cleaner on coated screens. The dry cloth method handles 90% of household screen cleaning.

Used with care, Koh Universal Cleaner suits plastic and metal bezels, monitor stands, laptop lids, TV frames, and hard plastic or metal device cases, all of which are hard, non-coated surfaces. Spray onto a Universal Cloth (never directly onto the device) and wipe the target area. Keep moisture well away from ports, speakers, vents, and any seam where liquid could get inside the device. Spot test first on visible surfaces. For glossy plastic frames especially, light pressure prevents micro-scratches. Avoid using on rubberised grips or matte coatings without a manufacturer's care guide check first.
