NOT contact cleaner. Proper contact cleaner contains oils that will
stay behind; fine in minute amounts on your switch contacts, but not in
your ROM sockets, or all over a board where it collects all manner of
airborne crud. Iso-propyl alcohol -- which is the carrier in contact
cleaner -- would be OK, so would ethanol. Neither will do much about
the formic acid; water will be better for that.
