Quote soldar said the strips in the plugs, not the receptacles, get dirty. So covered receptacles won’t help the situation described. covers wont,but the design of ceeforms make it less likely for the plugs to get as bunged up with dirt

So covered receptacles won’t help the situation described.Well, dirt is a whole lot easier to remove from exposed strips compared to getting dirt out of a hole. So either way the 'French' schuko is not an improvement in this case.
