Why do Chinese people wrap their remote controls in clingfilm?

Question

I have been to three different chinese peoples home and noted this same treatment of the remote control. It is too much of a coincidence for it not to be for a reason.

Answer 1

to keep the grease of it

Answer 2

when one of their friends started, they copy one another. Some of their thinking not only weird an d strange.
The only reason make sense is they afraid to spill water tea in it. As for germ, with the plastic with more bacteria on it.

Answer 3

The remote control is wrapped when you buy the equipment. They just don't unwrap it. You don't need to.,

Answer 4

Keeps the dust out of them and keeps them clean and safe if you accidentally spill a drink on it.

Answer 5

some coincidence! I personally have never seen it, but it's probably to stop the spread of germs.

Answer 6

my friend is chinese and she doesn't do it
i guess it's to keep it clean or something

Answer 7

So they don't get egg roll grease on them?

Answer 8

whatever twings their twang.
