I just got a second hand sky plus box from ebay, but the remote is a bit yukky - its obviously well loved.

How do I clean it?

Baby wipes work pretty well

I was going to say wipes too but maybe get anti bac ones?

what do you think of the milton wipes, will it take the printing off the buttons?

Wouldn't have thought so unless you really scrub with all your strength.

Try it out on a button that you won't use much and see what happens.

And once its clean, store it upside down, stops dust getting in.

We need a take a break emoticon don't we...

I clicked on here to recommend that James! I'm IT manager at a junior school, so I have 90+ computers to clean (including the teachers' laptops because most of them never bother) and that stuff is great - you just roll it over the keyboard and it picks up everything.
