What Do Pro's Recommend To Clean Contaminated CRT Coolant/Chamber?	Can't Post

I read all the post about people cleaning contaminated crt coolant with soapy water, isopropyl alcohol and denatured alcohol. What I want to know is, what is the best thing to use to clean the gunk and kill off bacteria or what every grows in the crt chamber?

My first TV coolant change I had no idea what to use, so I used Armor All Glass Cleaner Spray and surprisingly its been over a year and all 3 crt's are still clear.

My second TV coolant change I read that you use isopropyl alcohol and the blue and green crt became contaminated again. Red CRT never needed a change from the start.

Thanks for your input's of what you recommend.

Rockstar;.....

Soapy water is a no-no....
Isopropyl alcohol used to work fine....Not so sure about denatured alcohol....I NEVER used either.....
First time I EVER heard that Armor All Glass Cleaner Spray was used, good luck with that.... Wink

.....Only a year , tho....
What worked for me for OVER 15 years is Windex with Amonia D...
A bit hard to find on the grocer's shelves nowadays....
I spray generously , wipe with a cotton T-Shirt or cotton diaper (CLEAN) , re-spray , rinse thoroughly the lenses with warm water & dry with the T-Shirt / diaper....
NEVER a problem after that....
