The collections of dust particles and fingerprints on your Panasonic plasma TV don't just look terrible, they increase glare and make the picture look washed out. It is understandable that a plasma television owner may hesitate to clean the screen because it is so fragile it may end up scratched. Cleaning the screen of a plasma TV safely is easy.

Step 1

Turn off your Panasonic plasma television and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Step 2

Wipe the screen with a dry microfiber or 100 percent cotton cleaning cloth, using short gentle strokes. This should remove all dust and most fingerprints.

Step 3

Dissolve a few drops of dish-washing liquid (not dish-washer detergent) into a spray bottle of distilled water before dampening your cloth. Use this only to wipe away serious smudges that could not be removed by gentle wiping.

Step 4

Remove dust from the Panasonic plasma TV using a standard household vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment. Set the vacuum to its lowest setting and pass it quickly over the vent holes on the back of the television.

Step 5

Wipe the plastic outer casing with your dampened cleaning cloth.
