10. Use Vaseline to remove sticky remote buttons.
Estimated Cost: $1–$2*
Goal: Makes using remote controls with sticky buttons easier.
A small amount of Vaseline can provide a quick solution if your remote controls have sticky buttons. Using a cotton swab, carefully put a small quantity of Vaseline around the borders of the sticky buttons. This lubricates the mechanism, allowing the buttons to be pressed and released.
Apply Vaseline to the remote button to unstick it.
It’s an easy, low-cost fix for a typical home irritation that keeps your remote controls working and intuitive. Furthermore, it’s far less expensive than buying a new remote or having it fixed by a pro.

Sachets scented with Vaseline
