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!).

Hi everyone,

Thank you all very much for your advice.

I had not thought of replacing it - great idea, that
is what I will do.

As for keeping it clean (which I should have done in the
first place) - I will clean the new one with isopropyl alcohol
once in a while.

Regards,
David P.
