To protect your fine furniture from scratches and nicks,wrap a wide rubber band around both ends of the television remote control.You'll be protecting that remote too.It will be less likely to slide off the table and be damaged.
Do you have this problem with your remote control?lol

What a great idea! I sometimes drop the remote losing the back and then the batteries fall out. That is such a pain, since the batteries usually go rolling underneath something and you have to crawl on hands and knees to find them. I will try this and see if it helps. Best wishes!

No I do not have a problem with remote control, for a TV because i don't own a TV.

Wrapping an elastic band around the remote control is a great idea except for when you rub it on your hair, then it becomes a problem.


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

Of course shockedI have never thought of that surrender I am glad that I don't have that habit!Thank you for sharing Transdisc lolGood day.Have fun and cheers...

Oh yes dear, that is a great idea. I sometimes will reprimand my son for being so careless with the remote. Our center table would sometimes get scratches because he would be so careless in handling remote control. I thank you dear for giving me this good idea. I can always cushion the remote but why only now that I realized. Ha!ha!ha!


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

Your always welcome salonga lol ha!ha!ha! at least you can cushion your remote control from now wink Have a nice weekend my friend!Have fun and cheers.. lol

remote control. Thanks for the info. thumbup

Hi there, roshand! Oh, yes, we have that problem too, with the remote control. The one we have now is all cracked up from falling off the table. It's being kept together in one piece with scotch tape. It's still working, thank goodness. Great idea with the rubber bands, maybe if I had known this quite a while back, our remote control would have been spared from too many cracks! Thanks for the tip!:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

oh thank you NonaSaile, OMG..why didn't I come up with this post earlier???confused I hope this will help you in the future winkbesides it's still working!cushion it now!lol Thank you for sharing NonaSaile.Have a nice day.Have fun and cheers.. lol


myLot reputation of 91/100. NonaSaile (721)  1 year ago

The remote fell off again, and it's cracked up some more! It's my danged cat, Tres (full name: Trespasser)! She just can't keep herself from pawing the remote off the table. Any tips how to cat-proof the remote?:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

Funny how you suggested something that I have done but for a different reason. I tried my remote with rubber band to hold the battery cover!


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

oh yes..that's also an advantage thumbupThank you for sharing everlasting winkHave a nice day.Have fun and cheers.. lol

That is a nice idea.The falling is not a problem because of the carpet.The problem is losing it's cover and and batteries.I tried wrapping it also with plastic but it's no use.My naughty kids particularly the youngest will just remove anything on it.Would you believe all our remote control doesn't have any cover.And by now no more batteries as well-because the 6 yr old brother uses it in his game stationlol


myLot reputation of 98/100. roshand8 (522)   ranked 19 out of 417 in cleaning  1 year ago

ha!ha!ha!kids are kids...you know what I mean..especially when they are very young(7 year old and younger) I think from age 8 up your cute naughty little kids will definitely cooperate with you winkTake care.Good day lolHave fun and cheers.. lol
