Are you using protection on your remotes Login/Join

I started putting my tv remote in a sandwich bag, and a few friends wrap theirs in saran wrap.

It's pretty amazing what accumulates , body oils, salt from food, crumbs, food oils, dog hair, etc.

I advise it strongly

We rarely eat in the living room, let alone get food on the remotes, no need here.

Why yes, and I cover all the furniture in plastic as well.

Not really, I clean things. Remotes get wiped once or twice a week with a damp micro fiber cloth.

Are you using protection on your remotes
Yes, but it's a silicon sleeve specifically made for my Harmony remote. Not really worrried about junk accumulating on it, but instead bought it because I have ceramic tile floors that destroy remotes that are dropped (or intentionally knocked off by cat). Making the remote easy to clean is just a bonus.

Here is the silicon sleeve I bought on Amazon for my Harmony remote

But, how can you change the batteries? Yeah, sure, getting the old ones out of the remote is easy, getting the new ones into the sealed baggie isn't quite so easy.

The only germs on my remote are from my wife and I. I've already been exposed to both, so no, no plastic on mine.

I spray hand sanitizer on the remotes at a hotel, but never thought about anything in my home.

I have a bunch of remotes. I figure as long as I keep them separated they won't need protection.

What kind of remote do you have?
I have an Xfinity remote. I pull into the Xfinity store or Comcast, before they can greet me, I hold up my old remote, they reach under their desk and give me new one. Almost like a socket wrench at the old Sears.
