I'm embarrased to ask this, but how do I clean my remote without soapy water or vinegar or whatever getting inside the buttons and ruining everything? It wants a cleaning badly.

compressed air

"What've you been doing with your remote control?"

and a slightly damp chux cloth

(just to get that out of the way)

I'd use compressed air (I even have some), but I don't think it'll do much.

Yeah, I guess a damp cloth might work. But how do I get right up to the buttons without accidentally pressing them and changing the channel to something I might not want to see?

I'm very sensitive you know.

But what if I accidentally turn it on again?

Take out the batteries? Take it into another room?

What if there's another TV of the same model in the other room?

I think an intervention is in order.

Or a beating.
