http://www.herald.ie/national-news/look-daddy-i-cleaned-your-new-tv--sorry-about-the-scratches-1678324.html

A little girl left her father close to tears after she decided to give his brand new plasma screen TV a good spring clean -- with a scouring pad.

Sean McDonagh from Mor, Tubbercurry, Co Sligo couldn't believe his eyes when he saw scratches on last year's Christmas present and realised that his diligent daughter had left irremovable marks on his Sony Bravia TV.

"The little one decided to clean it with a sponge and she used the scouring side of the sponge," said Sean.

Caoimhe (4), who has a penchant for cleaning her Dad's televisions, got out the scouring pad and worked in circular motion.

Desperate

Now, a desperate Sean is seeking a cure for his damaged €1,900 LCD television.

"It's scratched and I've been looking on the internet to try and clean it but there doesn't seem to be anything out there."

"It's a plastic screen television and there's round circles around it now, but they're not too deep."

Girls, It never too young to get them started with the domestic duties :pac:
