The first step is gathering the exact screwdriver for your projector model. Remember, different screwdrivers will work with different models.

After the screwdriver, you will require a lens kit specially made to clean delicate items like projector lenses, etc.

Remove all plug cords and disconnect if it is connected to external speakers.

If you are using it, let it cool for at least 20-25 mins depending on the room temperature.

Open the projector and make sure you don’t lose the screw.

After you’ve unscrewed the screws, store them in a small bowl or cup so they don’t go missing.

Step 3 Let’s Start with the Inside

A soft bristle dusting brush or compressed air can clean all the dirt and dust gathered inside the projector.

Cleaning should be concentrated, and you must decide which area requires brushing and which demand compressed air blowing.

If you use too much force when cleaning or dusting, the hardware may be damaged, so take it slowly and carefully. Handle it with care, as if it were a newborn baby.

  • Now use a dry microfibre towel to clean all the dust around the lens.
  • Ensure you’re working in a clean area with no dust in the air.
  • Now it’s time to clean a lens by applying a few drops of cleaning liquid on the lens.
  • Finally, use a soft cloth to carefully clean the solution you have applied.
