I would quite like a product in a can which I could spray over
my TV and other remotes. It would form a thick layer over
the keys, but not penetrate far into the gaps around them.
After 10 minutes, it would set to form a dense rubbery gel
which I could peel off, along with all the dirt, to
leave my
remote's keypad pristine.
Obviously, it could be used to clean cats too.

Why are there cats adhereing to your TV remote? |
|
|
Like an embalming fluid for dirt ? I see a bald cat in your future, assuming your able to catch and peel the feline like a grape. |

I think you could do this with silicone sealant, but it
would need to contain small fibres to stop it tearing,
so that any bits that had got into the crevices would
pull out rather than tearing off. Also, it should cure
quickly (say, 5min, which is the patience of the
average consumer). |

Really Max, you're much too modest. |

You could commission a washcloth sized product made from
the same polymer as one of those 'sticky hand' or 'whacky
wall walkers' toys. Press it onto your remote, a quick rinse
and dry then its ready for next time. Hell, that might
actually be a viable product. |

I don't think they have the necessary sticktion. You
could use Rodico (watchmakers' BluTac) or even
BluTac itself, perhaps - but then it's not a marketable
product. |
|
|
There's a proprietary product to do just this. Link to follow. |
|
|
Well, it's not something that dries on and peals
off, but it seems like a good tool to clean a remote
would be similar to a rubber stamp cleaning pad. |

This is a tray about a quarter inch deep with the
bottom covered in a mat of brush-like material. Add a little water and cleaning solution of your
choice, turn the remote over, and rub it around
on the brush. Since it's upside down, the water
shouldn't get too far into the remote. Shake it
out and leave it upside down until it dries (or set
on specially designed remote drying rack). The
brush in my wife's stamp cleaner might be a little
too short and soft to get up between the buttons,
but it should be easy enough to select the right
brush for this product. |

Professional service required - post the remote control to a remote cleaning facility, where it will be cleaned by remote control cleaning robots, and returned clean. |

PVA glue (the real kind you buy from builders' merchants and paint shops, not the watery kind sold for children's art supplies) would do this. Also, regardez les liens. |
|
|
//PVA glue// Most assuredly not. PVA wood glue has
the consistency of cream. It would penetrate
between, around and under the keys. When it had
set, it would be brittle enough that pieces would
break off and be left behind in the keypad. |
|
|
How about that polymer they use to affix new credit cards
to the letters when they post them to you? |
|
|
That would be close, if it's sticky enough to grab dirt. |
