Actually, the simple act of plugging and unpluging the connector a few
tiems will usually work, but the cleaners aid by removing more of the
oxide that forms. You can get small brushes to scrub the contacts but
that's not really required unless the suckers are growing fuzz. BTW,
if you use WD40, blow it out and get the connector dry before sealing
things up. After sitting for a long time, the residue from it can
actuall cause more problems.
