Think I have done something stupid

I haven't met a knob I couldn't clean up with warm soapy water, an old toothbrush, and a few wooden toothpicks to clean out the grooves. I like to let them soak a while, and then begin to scrub them. I suppose the same as most others here.

It's also what I always use. toothbrush, toothpick and dish soap. With these things I have never had any discoloration problems with my TV buttons or radios. I even clean the plastic radio cabinets, and anything that is plastic, I clean that with dish detergent... Of course, I do not let it soak for hours, but only a few minutes. A half-hour in general is enough
