A plumber in Boise told me to always carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer for cleaning meter sockets before testing.

Oh, interesting. I read a forum post where an electrician said the alcohol in hand sanitizer can actually dry out and crack some older rubber gaskets on meter sockets over time. He recommended a dedicated electrical contact cleaner instead, said it cleans without leaving any residue.
