In this article, we will explain How to Clean Projector Screen the right way and provide some useful tips. 

A Projector Screen is one of the most important Projector Accessories. You should have a clean and neat Projector Screen along with a good Projector to get the best picture quality. 

As the screen is always up, it can easily catch dust. Besides dust, the Projector Screen is also vulnerable to stains and fingerprints.

Cleaning the Projector Screen not only gives you better picture quality but also increases its life. 

Cleaning the Projector Screen is not similar to cleaning a Television or other device. The Projector Screens are very delicate, and you could damage them if you don’t use proper cleaning techniques.

Here we will tell you How to Clean Projector Screen the right way. Also, check out the useful tips we provided at the end of this article.

How to Clean Projector Screen:

Here is a step-by-step procedure on How to Clean Projector Screen.

1. First, use compressed air to remove the dust from the Screen. Make sure you don’t apply too much pressure.
2. Next, you can fill a spray bottle with lukewarm water and spray it onto the screen.
3. Now, take a clean & soft cloth and gently clean the screen. Do not clean it as if you are cleaning a glass window. The Screen is very delicate. Cleaning from side to side has proven to be the best method.
4. Do not add much pressure. 
5. Also, do not use any chemicals as they may take away the reflective gain of the screen.
6. If there are stains on the screen, then add a little detergent to the warm water before cleaning.
7. After cleaning with a damp cloth, you can use another smooth and dry cloth to remove water/moisture from the screen.
8. Finally, let it dry for a few minutes and cover it with a cloth to prevent dust from settling on it.

If you do not clean your Projector Screen regularly, you may have to apply more effort while cleaning the screen.

Things to Know (Tips):

• If you have retractable Projector Screens or Portable Projector Screens, we suggest you retract (fold) them when not in use. 
• However, if you have fixed Projector Screens, you can try to cover them up with a cloth to prevent dust from sitting on them. You might have seen movie theatres using a big piece of cloth to cover the Screen after the show is done.
• Moreover, if it’s an Acoustic Screen, you should definitely cover the screen as dust can settle in the pores.
• Wear gloves before cleaning the Projector Screen to prevent stains from your fingers and palm.
• Do not use harsh chemicals as the Projector Screen is very sensitive and might lose its reflective properties.
• Avoid using rough sponges, as they can add scratches to the screen.
• Make sure you clean the Projector Screen with a dry cloth immediately after cleaning it with a wet cloth.

Conclusion:

Now that you know How to Clean Projector Screen, you should do it frequently. But don’t overdo it, as it might damage the screen. If it’s a fixed screen, you can clean it once or twice a week. And, if it’s a retractable screen, you can clean it once or twice in a month as it does not catch much dust. You can follow the step-by-step procedure provided above and follow the tips to prevent the Screen from any damage.
