Default External door lock pushbutton switches

Has anyone successfully cleaned the contacts on the door lock switches that are part of the door handles? If so, how did you clean them?

thanks

i sprayed mine with WD40 when the drivers one started playing up and pressed it a couple of times ijust sprayed around the actual push button and i also used an air hose after the WD40 to help penetrate the whole area underneath the push button.
pressed it a dozen times and it started working again.
i dont know if this is a short term fix but it did work for now.
my cars coming up for ten years now so i figure this wearable part is a future job and i also would welcome peoples experiances on this..
