First, turn off the TV and remove your remote’s batteries, if it uses them.
Wet your cloth with some isopropyl alcohol or some soap and warm water.

While alcohol may be more effective, you’re free to use soap and water can be used.
Wipe down the remote.
If you have a remote where batteries can’t be removed, be incredibly careful cleaning with water.
If water gets inside a remote like that, you risk damaging the gadget.
