Look for an electronics store like Radio Shack or similar.  Look for contact cleaner without any lubricant in it.  Easiest way to check is to spray a little bit on your fingertips and rub them together: if it's oily, you'll feel it after the cleaner dissipates. If you can find it, the Cramolin products are very good for cleaning and conditioning contacts.  I use D-5 in my electronics and it works very well.

If you want to go the cheap route, you could use isopropyl alcohol and a cloth, but it won't clean as well as the other stuff.
