Default Electrical contact cleaning

Daniel Prince wrote:
What tools and chemicals do you use to clean electrical contacts?

What do you use for buttons on things such as remote controls? (I
have a kitchen timer with buttons that have to be pressed several
times.)

What do you use on battery contacts? (I know to use white vinegar to
clean up leakage from alkaline battery leakage.)

Thank you in advance for all replies.

Depends. For rubber membrane keypads I use liquid dish soap and warm
water. Battery contacts I use vinegar and scrub with a toothbrush or
scotchbrite pad. For things like edge connectors, low voltage signal
contacts and such I use Deoxit D5, spendy stuff, but a little goes a
long way.
