Hospitals and hotels have identified remote controls to be a “disease hotspot”: an area that is handled often and if not cleaned meticulously, can transmit illnesses.  In response, one company has created Clean Remotes.  These non-porous, easy-to-clean television remotes are 99% cleaner than standard remotes – a claim that has been backed up by numerous studies. Additionally, the remotes are easy to program and come in various models so you’re guaranteed to find one that works with your televisions.
