A single sheet of white paper cut into strips placed between the
contacts with some pressure on the paddle while you pull through will
clean the contacts without damage. Run a strip a few times through an
you will see the results. I use just under the amount of pressure that
rips the paper.

On the topic of keys, paddles, and bugs, I wonder if members of the list would tell
me how they keep key contacts clean and reliable. Do you regularly burnish key
contacts? Do you use a chemical cleaner (e.g. de-oxit)? Do you maintain a
minimum keying current? Or do you simply never have a problem?
Please share your wisdom and experience.
