G'day.

There is a two-gang switched mains socket right next
to my cooker, of the white plastic sort. It needs a good
clean, but the dirt is a sort of sticky greasy stuff from
cooking vapours and splashes.

I cannot clean this stuff off. Can anyone suggest a
way (apart from not letting it get dirty in the first place -
too late!).

Thanks,
David P.

Isopropyl alcohol. I've used it to get cooking gunk off light switches as
well as sellotape residue - seems not to harm the plastic fitting. Also
quite good for the glass strip on our cooker hood where Flash doesn't work.
