Store Remotes Face Down

Always keep your TV or stereo remote controls FACE DOWN when you're not using them. It's a lot easier to wipe off or clean the smooth backs of the remotes than dust in between all of those little buttons all of the time. Saves a lot of time and aggravation. Now don't you wish you would have thought of that sooner?

I have always done things like that since I am the one to clean. My family thinks I'm fussy but when I mention to them that they can clean up around the house, then they quickly change their minds. It's funny how they think differently when they have to clean.

In our house, the issue isn't keeping the remote clean, it's being able to find it in the first place! :) Thanks for the great tip!

Just make sure the buttons are not being pressed and using energy (battery or other)or turning on your electronics, especially if they are ones that do not need to be in view of the "eye" on the electronics.

Great idea, and if you have pets, you don't have to be startled awake at 3am to the tv going on! The same goes for your cell phone. My problem wasn't dust, it was my cats! I got a call from my friend in Washington some time ago, asking if I was OK?? You guessed it, my cats stepped on it and called her twice! Now, it's a habit!!

It also helps if you have pets too. I just recently got up at 2 am to turn ours off. Fussed at hubby next day then realized it was the cat!
