Quick tip - clean off green stuff on electrical connection

My boat trailer electrical harness and the receptacle on my Ford have a lot of green stuff on some of the connections. The connection is marginal. I recall that vinegar can clean this up, but I'm not sure. What is the best way to clean up these connections?

Thanks from Rick

I have heard of people using plain Coca-Cola in a pinch to remove the crud. Bass_Mr.

Electrical contact cleaner from Radio Shack works well. Once removed apply some dielectric grease to connections will help prevent some of the corrosions.
