Do all polished light switches and sockets show finger prints?

[u587162]

Can you get any light switch sockets and electric sockets in a polish chrome which don’t show finger prints or so they all suffer the same fate?

also what does it mean by single and double pole sockets?

 

[flameport]

All polished surfaces show fingerprints.
Options - never touch them, wear gloves, clean them often or buy some other type of finish.

Single pole - switches L only.
Double pole - switches L&N
Makes no difference to anything as for isolation the plug can be removed.

Thanks. Could elaborate a little more on where single and double pole might have done practical uses? Could it help for example, with smart homes where I’ve installed a lot of neutral wiring in lighting circuits etc?

Double pole generally used for isolation. Particularly where both live and neutral conductors must be disconnected. Examples: heating systems, boilers.

single pole generally for functional switching. Example: light switch.
