I've noticed people mentioning grease from hands entering their remote control. No cleaning of remote controls, if you wrap remote in saran wrap. The wrapped remote works perfectly well. Replace the wrap when changing batteries.
You are so right about saran wrap-it works wonders keeping tv controls looking like new. Saran wrap keeps white refrigerator door handles looking like new too!

Good idea - and I'd bet you could use different colors for remotes that belong to different TVs, too! I wonder if Glad Press-n-Seal would work as well?
