Try some Deoxit-5 spray. You can get it online or at any music instrument store. SSSSpray, let dry overnight.

Do not abrade contacts of modern switches with erasers, as they only are plated with a microscopic amount of silver. Old timers used to swipe a dollar bill twice between contacts to teach relays how to behave.
