Re: HELP!! I spilled a cup of coffee on my remotes

Just saw on TV tonight that you should save those little silione packets that come inside shoe boxes and handbags and suitcases. They are put there because they dry things out. Worth a try for your remote.

I went overboard yesterday and sterilized all of our remotes after reading that they are breeding grounds for bacteria. Suffice to say they didn't work after my thorough cleaning but when my husband came home he popped out the batteries and replaced them with new ones. He took a blow-dryer first and dried the remotes out. They are all working again!

These ideas are great! I would've thought the creamer in the coffee would make it hard to make the remotes work again.
