Many people often think of cleaning up the desktop socket after ten and a half months. "Too much dust in the socket can easily cause poor contact, and in severe cases, it can also cause local heating. The temperature rises to a certain level, the desktop socket will be deformed, and a few will cause a short circuit and cause a fire." China National Household Appliances Research Institute Lu Jianguo, director of the Comprehensive Inspection Department of the Supervision and Inspection Center, reminded.

      The power socket should be cleaned every three or four days. People who love to clean like to wipe the socket with a damp cloth. Lu Jianguo emphasized that this is a big taboo, because the moisture on the cloth will make the socket wet. Plug in the power immediately after wiping, which will easily cause a short circuit. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust in the socket. You can also turn the socket upside down, tap the bottom lightly, and then wipe the dust off the surface with a dry cloth. "Be sure to lightly pat." Lu Jianguo said, re-shooting or simply knocking the socket on the ground will damage the parts inside.

      In fact, many multi-function sockets now have some dustproof measures inside. Therefore, if the socket is in a dry and clean environment, it is enough to clean the socket regularly. It is best to use a socket with a waterproof cover in the bathroom, because water vapor may make dust, hair, etc., become a conductor, forming an electrified state. Some people call this "contaminated conductive". In addition, the power plugs that have not been unplugged for a long time should also be cleaned frequently, otherwise it is easy to cause "fouling and conduction".
