Try using Denatured Alcohol. It works better than Isopropyl. I had a
Harmony remote that began to get sticky and Denatured worked much
better.

Hi
Thanks for all the replies.
I can say that some of the items I have, that have gone "sticky" are not
touched on a daily basis. Yes it is probably the product material used,
starting to break down. The worst part of all of this is that the
stickiness attracts dust, hair or whatever, that

Agreed. It's rubber-coated things that get sticky. My 14-year old SB2 is

that one is fine.
It is the rounded remote that came with the SB1/2 (for me at least) that
end up looking and feeling tacky.

Do the remotes get sticky over time or sticky from increased use? My
Transporter remote isn't in the least bit sticky but I rarely use it.

I can confirm that isopropyl alcohol does eventually remove the sticky
rubber coating, but it takes a lot of effort and you need to keep at
it.
Persevere on a small section to start with to get an idea of how much
elbow grease is required.

Hi,
Thank you for your replies.
The Touch isn't "dirty" from use, as it has stood in a purpose made HiFi
stand and the rear has only been touched to connect the cables. It only
became apparent when I had to adjust my HiFi setup. I use the touch with
a remote as much as possible, or I use my

Be Gone followed be cleaning that with Dawn and water. It helped a fair
amount, but there is some tackiness remaining.

This is a common problem with a lot of natural rubber over-moldings.
Cleaning with Isopropyl alcohol usually does the trick, although it make

Some of my remotes have the same issue and it is the same as one of my
Booms. It was a surface treatment which over time breaks down. It the
same on a iPAL radio I have.
The rear of my Touch is plain hard shiny plastic - no surface treatment.
I suspect your Touch issue may just be "dirt".
I haven't experienced this with the remotes, but it's a common problem
with the front panel and knob on the Boom. I've had some success
over-painting those parts with a matt lacquer rubber paint, so if you
can dismantle the remotes sufficiently to isolate the sticky part it
might be worth a go.
Hi,
I am looking for some inspiration here.
I have several Squeezbox Classics and a Touch and a Duet. I have a
collection of remotes to go with them.
Those remotes, universally, now have a sticky surface around the keys.
I have tried isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) without much success
