What should you always do before cleaning a conductor cord?

Plug it in
Double check that it is unplugged
Wipe it down with a damp cloth
Soak it in disinfectant

The correct answer is: Double check that it is unplugged

Before cleaning a conductor cord, it is essential to double-check that it is unplugged to ensure safety. This step is crucial because cleaning a cord while it is still connected to an electrical source poses a potential risk of electric shock or equipment damage. By ensuring the cord is unplugged, you create a safe environment in which to clean without the danger of accidental activation or electrical hazards. This practice promotes a safe work environment, especially in settings where multiple electrical tools are in use and helps maintain the longevity of both the equipment and the workspace. The other options include practices that could lead to safety issues or ineffective cleaning. Plugging it in poses a serious risk, while wiping it down with a damp cloth or soaking it in disinfectant without ensuring that the cord is unplugged could also result in accidents or damage to the equipment. Therefore, confirming that the cord is unplugged is the necessary first step before proceeding with any cleaning procedures.
