As I understand it TT service uses a product called DeoxIT from Caig Labs for 
switch cleaning. Caig should have a list of distributors on their website 
(some electronics supply outfits in larger cities carry it) or a way to order 
direct from Caig. I'd suggest the liquid rather than the aerosol version as 
my experience is the spray can is a bit hard to control and thus messy.
