Spring Cleaning Tips for Decluttering Your Entertainment Center

ReplacementRemotes.com

Spring is a great time to do a thorough cleaning of the entire home, including the living room. Your home entertainment center is probably looking a bit cluttered after the winter, and things could stand to be spruced up. Before you start cleaning, make sure to unplug power strips from electrical outlets just to be safe.

Spring-Cleaning

  1. Remove all clutter from around devices. Pick up and put away CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, as well as remote controls and other items. TIP: You can secure remotes to the wall next to or on the side of entertainment centers with remote control wall mount clips.
  2. Use a top-down cleaning approach. Start on the top shelf and work your way down as you dust.
  3. Move entertainment centers for easier cleaning. If you want to clean behind and under the entertainment center, carefully move it out of the way.
  4. Dust off electronic devices using an approved cleaning cloth and cleaning products.
  5. Declutter cords by using cord ties. Bunch cords for similar devices together using different colored cord ties.
  6. Give remotes a good wipe down with antibacterial wipes.
  7. Replace batteries in all of your remote controls, and remember to recycle the old ones.

HBO Go

HBO Go is included with a paid subscription to HBO premium channel service through your cable or satellite TV provider. It allows you to stream you favorite episodes of HBO content through a variety of devices, including your smartphone and tablet devices. In addition, multiple users can stream content simultaneously.

HBO Now

HBO Now is a stand-alone streaming service for people who do not subscribe to HBO premium channels, or do not have cable or satellite TV. It allows people direct access to the same content and features found on HBO Go.

This streaming service is now available on a variety of devices, including Android, Roku, Amazon Fire, and others. Unlike HBO Go, you are not required to register devices before being able to use the service, and only have to sign in with your email address and password to access content.
