Cleaning Loctal Corrosion
#1

I'm working on a 41-255, and two of the loctal sockets have quite a bit of the notorious loctal green corrosion on the "faces" of the pin sockets.  I know the important part is to clean the edges where the pins make contact.  Which I usually use a welding tip cleaner for in the case of locatals.

But is there any good way to clean the corrosion off the "face"?  I tried spraying some D5 on a cotton swab and working it around in there, but it didn't do much.  Tried the same with a drop of D100 from a needle tip onto the pin hole, and worked it in with a cotton swab.  Still nothing.

This is what I'm talking about:
   

Any other methods to clean it out?

Thanks!
