Some time ago, I heard that the remote control in a hotel room was one of the dirtiest things one could touch in a hotel. I even saw “sleeves” you could buy to put over the remote so you didn’t have to touch it. Well, I have a cheaper and more convenient solution. Hotel rooms have plastic laundry bags, so just slip the laundry bag over the remote and use it. I only use the volume up/down, channel up/down and power buttons, so I don’t have to see the buttons. The infrared of the remote goes through the bag, so presto, a cheap and easy solution to not touching the dirty remote.
