I have used denatured alcohol on cotton swabs to clean the blades of AC plugs. The one thing I would encourage you most strongly to do is turn off the circuit breaker to the stereo outlets, unscrew the wire from their outlet screws and take very fine steel wool and buff the copper wire where it screws into the outlet shiny. Remove all of the copper oxide so when you reconnect the wires to the outlet, you are getting the highest quality of electric flow to the outlets.
Cleaning AC plugs, receptacles and other contacts
I just remodeled my audio room which included stripping old wallpaper, sanding, painting, Wainscoting, etc., -- you know, the usual MESS!
While I have the room empty, I want to clean the inside of my AC outlet contact points, my AC cord plugs etc.
What have you found to be the best cleaner for this application? I plan to use Caig Pro Gold after I clean them. I thought I remembered a publication recommending some sort sanding or slightly abrasive sheet on AC plugs prior to applying any Caig type treatment but I cannot recall the name. Do any of you use such a thing?
Any opinions on now you clean the electrical contacts (and/or treat them afterwards) or insides of the AC or IEC receptacles or your RCA connections and the products you prefer will be appreciated.
Thanks.
