Should I clean car battery terminals? and if so how?

Anyway, I noticed that there is a lot of "crud" (grainy white/green
stuff - looks like dried toothpaste) on the positive (red) terminal of
my car battery.
Car otherwise works & looks fine.
Question:
- Is it important to clean the crud off?
- What is the best & also easiest/fastest way to do it?
Thanks
By a battery post cleaner at your local auto parts store for a couple of
bucks. Spend an additional dollar and get a pair of the washers to put
underneath the connectors, to inhibit future corrosion.
