My presentation clicker was full with a sticky residue. Some plastics are known for this. Probably some manufacturers know this and use this as #plannedObsolence 🥹

To clean:
- Bowl with warm water
- Add baking soda to the water
- Remove accessories like batteries
- Rub the soda water with your fingers
- Now and then clean surface with a rag that has no loose fibers (e.g. old t-shirt)
- Repeat last two steps

No more throwing away sticky appliances and devices 👌

🔁 to save for more devices 😉
