No pledge.
no glass cleaner. (ie ammonia) Use soft cloth, damp. can use water, or a mixture of water and alcohol to dampen the cloth. |

You might be fucked. It could have destroyed the coating on the screen.

I would think so.
i would take a cotton baLL or a rag that is pretty wet with alcohol, and wet a corner of the screen down. If it screws it up, you still can watch the TV. If not, you know that you are gtg. |

Fuck that noise. Her "anger" is just a defense mechanism to shift your focus onto her being upset rather than your damaged TV. Don't let her get away with acting angry at you about her fuck up. |

Whatever you use to clean it, be sure to test it first in a small corner of the screen.

I hate to say it, but you're probably fooked. Glass cleaner with ammonia is probably not a good idea, either. I would contact LG customer service and ask them for assistance.
No offense, but the wifey would be in the doghouse for a long time for a stunt like that... |

Every manual I have ever read concerning LCD's, including monitors and TV's, explicitly states to only use water(damp cloth) to clean them. I'm sure there are exceptions but I would only use water, any solvent is very likely to damage it from what I understand.

Pledge contains hydrocarbons that probably dissolved some of the screen surface.
Probably not much to do but cry. Water only please. Good luck, Luckdog

all LCDs have a thin plastic covering the actual LCD, if you screw that up, you can get it replaced.
Seems like something like Pledge for wood leaves an oil film to make it shiny... probably just using a rag with water and alcohol should get it off after a while? |

From their website:
Sounds like its harmless. I would give the manufacturer a call and ask for advice. |

Reminds me of when my wife backed into my car sitting in the driveway and blamed me for parking behind her  This is why all my LCD screens on everything have a light dust buildup b/c I'm scared to death of trying to clean it and either scratch it, or do what your wife did. Although, MAYBE, she is trying to tell you to stop watching so much election coverage and get your ass in bed to take care of business....

If that doesn't work, try this. Don't get the low odor stuff though, and be sure to use it in an enclosed space with poor ventilation.  |

He doesn’t need to call the manufacture of the LDC, the LCDs manuals tell you not to use stuff like pledge to clean the screens. |

Question for the OP: Which is more valuable to you, your TV or your wife?
Because if you make a big deal about this you're probably going to end up with neither. |

Some do, many don't. I have a Samsung A550 I believe and it doesn't have any plastic in front of it. That's why I got it because it has a lot less glare. |

Just get out your orbital car polisher or belt sander and take it to the screen. Make sure you push extra hard. That should clear it right up.

All LCD screen cleaner is is Isopropyl alcohol and water....don't know the proportion though so you may want to look that up.

It is a piece of plastic that can easily be damaged by an oil based cleaner like Pledge. |

I've seen Eye Glass places use Goo Gone to clean high dollar prescription glasses. I would think using your shirt just swirls around the oil from your fingers. Anyway ...
Goo Gone might remove the grease and not scratch the glass/plasitic/LCD surface

STOP No alcohol, no ammonia, no solvents of any kind you will do more damage. The screen may already be ruined and you ain’t helping. Just MILD dish soap and distilled little water. |

I can sympathize. My wife can clean things to death. Some years ago, the decided the instrument panel on our boat was dirty, She took the hose to it not realizing those are not water tight seals. I had to have everything taken apart to clean corrosion from the contacts. The left tach never was right again and I spent a year synchronizing by sound.

Micro Fiber Cloth damp with water.
They make cleaner specifically for LCD screens, they have it at Best Buy. This says "Alcohol Free", not sure if I would use alcohol.

If it turns out to truly be damaged, plastic polish maybe offer some hope. But it may fuck it up more. I have never heard of anyone using it on an LCD, but I am sure that someone has tried. Look into it. |

First off, get rid of all Pledge products and never, never use it on wood. Use Murphys Oil soap or lemon oil to clean wood and follow with a good wax such as Johnsons Paste wax or Brie wax.
Try using laundry soap and warm water to cut through the silicone that Pledge uses. Laundry soap will not hurt the LCD's plastic screen. Here are the main ingredients of Pledge from a MSDS; Proprietary: NO Ingredient: ISOPARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON SOLVENT Ingredient Sequence Number: 01 Percent: 10-20 NIOSH (RTECS) Number: PY8240000 CAS Number: 64475-85-0 OSHA PEL: NOT ESTABLISHED ACGIH TLV: NOT ESTABLISHED Other Recommended Limit: EXXON: 300 PPM ------------------------------------- Proprietary: NO Ingredient: SILICONE Ingredient Sequence Number: 02 Percent: 1-5 NIOSH (RTECS) Number: 1002193SI CAS Number: 63148-62-9 OSHA PEL: NOT ESTABLISHED ACGIH TLV: NOT ESTABLISHED Other Recommended Limit: NONE SPECIFIED |

Thats because rubbing alcohol won't cut through silicone. |
