Working on equipment in the field I run into dirty connections all the time. Personally if it's just dust and dirt in a connection I tend to use nothing but compressed air to blow everything out. If the connections are grease then something like electric motor or brake clean, both of which you can get in a spray can, work pretty good. If it's corrosion your trying to remove then it would depend on what material the connection is made of as to what would work best. Too, depending on what type of connection your dealing with you might be able to remove the corrosion with a piece of fine emery cloth. For battery terminals that are corroded a fresh Coke works good for an initial cleaning because it neurtalizes the acids that cause the corrosion. Follow that with a squirt of WD40 or a dolop of grease and your good. Beyond that, without knowing what type of connections your cleaning or what your needing to get off of them I don't know what else to tell you to try.
