Apple TV remote gets rid of garlic smell

The stainless steel of the Apple TV and other remotes could rid hands of the annoying smell of garlic and the potentially harmful residue of chilli.

Stainless steel is often recommended as a way of cleaning off stubborn chilli and garlic smells, in addition to other solutions like lemon juice. Some companies sell steel soap and other specialist products as a way of doing so — but one enterprising chef has pointed out that many people have an easily-found source of stainless steel, in our remotes.

The solution would also work with other stainless steel remotes, though most tend to be made from plastic. Other products made of the metal — such as the new Apple Watch — would also have the same effect.
