Normally, the use of multi-plugs is temporary. If you cannot do otherwise, at least be careful to meet the power standards and turn them off or disconnect when not in use. Also think about placing them in a clearly visible corner away from the curtains. Above all, change them when they show signs of wear or when they become too old (old multi-shops are no longer necessarily up to safety standards). On the other hand, do not forget to dust them: it is not a luxury. Finally, install a smoke detector and possibly provide a fire extinguisher to be ready in case of a problem.
