Who made what
Clean Your TV is one family’s project, standing on a lot of other people’s work.
Thank you, Gathin.
Clean Your TV began as a fork of cleanyourtv, Gathin’s open-source project to debloat any Android or Google TV over Wi-Fi and give it a home of its own. Everything you see here is built on top of his work.
Made by
Designed and built by Mehboob Shaikh for his family’s TV — the launcher’s design, the family screens, the studio where it was all tried first, and this page — on top of cleanyourtv, the open-source debloat and home-screen project by Gathin.

Imagery
Every screen on this page is our own TV or the studio that mirrors it. The family screens use a sample family — drawn silhouettes and made-up names — so no real family member appears anywhere.
The wolf wallpaper came to us without a credit, and we haven’t been able to trace its photographer. If any of it is yours, please write to us — we’ll credit you or replace it.
The “before” screenshot shows Google TV’s stock home as it appeared on our TV, including promotional artwork that belongs to its respective owners.
Trademarks
Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, JioHotstar, Spotify, Google TV, Android, Sony and BRAVIA are trademarks of their respective owners. Their logos appear here only as they appear on our TV. Clean Your TV is a personal, non-commercial project and isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them.
