The Healthy Facilities Institute (HFI) recommends sealed TV remote controls for patient rooms to enable better cleaning of these high-touch points, according to an article on the CleanLink website.

The sealed, liquid-impervious “touch membrane” can be sprayed and left wet with a disinfectant to enable complete cleaning and disinfection.
The less-porous design of the sealed touch/flat surface also harbors fewer bacteria.
