Remote Control Theft Prevention Tips for Hotel Owners

Loss and theft of items such as slippers, towels, silverware, and electronic devices such as remote controls cause significant monetary losses and quite a bit of frustration for hotel owners each year.

According to the Los Angeles Times, theft from hotels is a common occurrence. Most guests don’t even consider taking things from their rooms to be wrong. A recent survey of hotel guests found that 61 percent of respondents swiped toiletries, 18 percent stole towels, 14 percent took ashtrays, and 2 percent swiped bathmats and bathrobes from their rooms.

Although it seems innocent, hotel thefts cost the industry more than $100 million per year.

While hotel owners may not be able to halt the theft of towels and toiletries, they can stop guests from stealing remote controls to hotel televisions. A simple method of securing hotel remotes is equipping them with security cables. Strong security cables such as the Anderic Universal Remote Security Cable can help hotel owners greatly reduce remote control thefts.

The great thing about universal remotes is that they work with a wide variety of televisions, making them ideal for use in hotels where there’s a need for interchangeability and replacement. The adaptability of Universal remotes also makes them a target for thieves. Security cables make thievery much more difficult.

Get in the Habit of Cleaning Remote Controls

During flu and cold season, one way everyone in the home gets sick is by touching the remote control. You cough or sneeze, and then cover your mouth with your hand while watching your favorite program. Then you touch the TV remote, without remembering to wash your hands, and now the germs are partying on the remote control. Next, your child picks up the remote to turn on a cartoon or movie, and rubs his or her eyes. Now, this little person is at risk of getting sick, too.

With cold and flu season just around the corner, it is important to get into the habit of cleaning remote controls on a weekly basis.

  1. Remove the batteries and replace the battery cover.
  2. Clean around the buttons with a cotton swab. Dip the swap in rubbing alcohol and gently clean the small cracks and crevices around the buttons and sides of the remote.
  3. Use a soft cloth to clean the rest of the remote. Lightly dampen the cloth in rubbing alcohol, wipe the remote control down, and allow it to air dry.
  4. Wipe the remote control and buttons with an antibacterial wipe. Allow them to air dry.
  5. Replace the batteries.

Never submerse a remote control in water, pour rubbing alcohol on it, or spray cleaning products directly onto it. The liquid can get inside the remote, and cause the device to short-circuit and stop working. For more serious problems, like sticky soft drink spills and non-working remotes, you will need to order a new remote control. You can obtain new TV and device remotes for all makes and models by contacting Replacement Remotes at -855-5-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683).

Sony to Release Combination TV Remote Control and Speaker Device in Japan

The Japanese market is one full of unique and original entertainment devices and concepts. Among the latest is a combination TV remote control and speaker device developed by Sony. Sony intends to release the new product in late September 2015 in Japan for a price of $166 U.S. dollars. The device combines a remote speaker with a TV remote on top, along with a speaker volume control knob.

While the device might seem a bit too far-fetched, consider the benefits of the device. Users will be able to bring the sound from the TVs, to them, just about anywhere in their home. Instead of having to blast the TV volume, the speaker can be placed in front of the user on an end table or night stand. The device is perfect for smaller homes with children. People get to enjoy their favorite programs and not worry about waking up their kids.

For those who like preparing meals while watching cooking shows, there is no reason to move the TV into the kitchen. If all you need are the step-by-step instructions, you can bring the device into the kitchen to listen, and follow along to prepare the dish. Additionally, the device is perfect for people who like listening to the news and weather while they get ready for work, and who do not have time to sit in front of the TV.

While Sony does not currently have plans to release the device in the United States, you can still obtain Sony remote controls for your Sony devices directly from Replacement Remotes. Call 1-855-5-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683) now for further assistance.
