As EP4 uses a csv file (excel, or openoffice) and that app has search & replace functionality far above what phpmyadmin has it is definitely something to consider...

I would install it either on your site or a test site locally or on a server.
Follow the instructions and download a csv and open it in one of the recommended applications
Try the search & replace being careful to to "find next" or "replace" as warranted
It is not fully automatic but for a modest investment of time you can clean up your descriptions in your entire database

Then in the future, only those additional entries will be suspect and need cleaning up
