Does anyone have a guide for cleaning electric plugs and cords in a bakery?

We have a number of electrical cords/plugs hanging from the ceiling of our bakery that we plug equipment into. We currently wipe them down weekly, but we don't clean them with soap/water/sanitizer. Since some of them get handled frequently, I'd like to update our cleaning SOPs to include cleaning these plugs and cords. Does anyone have a good guide for cleaning plugs? You're obviously not going to get them really wet!

 

Thanks!

There are devices you can use to seal off the end of the plug or junction.  They are similar to lockout tag-out devices, quick google search will provide multiple options.  Seal the end or junction then apply some light wet cleaning, dry then sanitize.  

This is great! Thank you.

You currently wipe them with what?  

 

You could just use something like alpet D2 towels or spray and wipe or DrySan Duo.  Both product are meant for dry environments.   The products are not inexpensive though.   The mess of cleaning overhead alone might push me in this direction.

If you have a picture to add of your device, it may help us help you.  But other than that, I would go with the alcohol wipe.  

I vote for alcohol wipe. 

If you have a multi surface sanitizer of any kind, perhaps with titration already in place, that might be a no brainer since you already have it. Otherwise, yeah alcohol wipe. 

BIG thing to keep in mind: these can't be dripping anything while production is running (or baking). You're going to want to drill that one home, NO DRIPS during production. 

Can you tell which one I almost had to strangle someone over (and during my SQF audit)?
