I must say as a experienced TV service person I approve of the suggestions
in the thread made at this newsgroup question.

I must point out that the reason you do not spray the screen is because,
most TV's today have electronics under the picture tube like customer
controls, so the spay will drip down and cause the components to rust and
"partly short out" what is called in the trade as a "gone leaky" This
would cause a lot of problems in the months to come when parts will need to
be replaced.

Do not spray the cleaner onto the front of the tube, spray it on your
cleaning cloth and then wipe the face of the tubes. Have the sets turned off
to avoid any possiblity of static shock from the set. Generally the material
referred to will do a nice job on also cleaning the cabinets.

Windex (the ordinary glass-cleaning kind) is perfectly safe. It's even
safe
to use on precision coated optics if you don't do it every day. Unless
there's a delicate anti-reflective coating, you have ABSOLUTELY nothing to
worry about. If there's an anti-reflective coating, you can still use
Windex as long as you don't do it too often. If you need to clean a
delicately coated piece of glass every day or two, half Windex and half
distilled water is a good cleaner.

Clear skies,
