What is the best Alkaline Battery Leak Cleanup (AA Copper tops) method
for the metal contacts that were exposed to the battery leakage?

Some contacts are easy to get to and some are not.

Chemical to use? Or ?


I use a pinch of "cream of tartar" (look in the kitchen spice rack) and
a few drops of water to make a thin paste. If it's really bad,
substitute white vinegar for the water. In either case, rinse well.
