WD-40 (or 3-in-1 oil) work extremely well as contact cleaner. The problem is, if used in environments where there could be dust, the oil residue causes dist to stick and creates more problems that you started with.Mar 31, 2010');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_yxlNYNz6Afyx0PEPjp22yAM27','');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_yxlNYNz6Afyx0PEPjp22yAM47','
alcohol
The 100% alcohol would be considered as the ideal material to clean any electronic contacts as they evaporate quickly and leave no residue behind. But the only problem with them is "100% pure alcohol is too expensive". (Its also one of the most explosive components.)

Isopropyl alcohol is available at drug stores and also known as "ISOPROPANOL 99%". Denatured Alcohol is great stuff to use, but also evaporates quickly. Carburetor cleaner mixed with a drop of water, to reduce its acidity against plastics, also works if you only do it once or twice.
