    To avoid poor contact and consequently the increase of the electrical resistance at the junction.

    If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire

    out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper. Sadly, they're not. So a coating of

    dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can

    even block the flow of current across the connection completely. Moreover, in the case

    where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.
