Cleaning!

Life is dirty.  Camping is dirtier.

How to clean your remote control
The average television remote controls has a lethal cocktail of bacteria within your own dwelling.  Hotel, hospital or other public area remotes are far worse than what is in your own home.  So whether you are home or elsewhere it is a good idea to clean any remote control that you or your family will be handling.  To accomplish this, remove the back and the batteries or the remote.  Now take a cotton wipe or cotton ball with alcohol and wipe down your big areas of the rmote.  Now, take an alcohol soaked q-tip and go around all the little keys and buttons.  If you see dirt down in the crevices take a toothpick or a needle and work it out.  One last swipe and voila!  One clean and sanitized remote control!

Steps --


1.  Remove back and batters (set aside)

2.  Put alcohol on cotton ball and wipe down the large areas

3.  Take a Q-tip dipped in alcohol to work around the smaller keys

4.  Remove any lodged dirt using a needle or toothpick

5.  Give it a final wipe and voila!  Done!

Great uses for alcohol --

One of the most useful for campers with dogs is tick removal.  Apply alcohol to the tick site and then gently pull the tick out.  Use alcohol once the tick is out to disinfect the site.  :)

Clean with rubbing alcohol

It's a good idea to keep your cleaning supplies simple, light weight and diverse!  Besides you really don't want to put a bunch of harsh chemicals in the belly of your RV.  While RV tanks are quite durable, you don't want to start pouring a bunch of harsh chemicals down the drain to shorten the life of your tanks!  So keep it simple and effective with alcohol or a similar product.
