There is a two-gang switched mains socket right next

cooking vapours and splashes.

For the 3 quid it will cost to change the socket I would not consider
cleaning it.

I've cleaned kitchen electricals many times, and imho its quicker to
clean than get a replacement, assuming its not _really_ bad. And if it
is really bad, so will the other bits be, and you're no longer looking
at £3 to replace them all, making the dishwasher a reasonable option.
