I wasn't going to go into it... but I've actually built a small
battery powered DC motor driven tool for this very function.

I find the some of the contacts are hard to reach with a pencil eraser.
You can get the eraser to the contacts, but you cannot really rub the
contact. My solution for this is to take a brand new pencil and break it
off so that eraser side is about 4-5 inches long. Then place the pencil in a
variable speed drill and you had a cleaning surface that spins like a champ.
You will have the contact clean in a heartbeat.
