Electrical Outlets

When the power is off, wash electrical outlet and switch boxes. Then, rinse. Be VERY sure the power is off, and be sure that all electrical supply materials and equipment are perfectly clean and dry before power is turned on again.

Lighting Fixtures

Once the power is off, or after you have disconnected and removed your light fixtures , take ceiling fixtures and lamps apart to check for dirt and wetness. Clean and dry thoroughly before use. Expect some burnt-out bulbs and cracked or broken bulb glass. Good bulbs may shatter the first time they are turned on, so get a shade between you and the bulb for that first trial.
