WD40 and a flat blade screwdriver. Use the screwdriver to open the connector blades. Wash it out with WD40. Then blow it dry.
WD 40 was designed to displace water on Electrical connections (WD=Water Displacement) So a very very good suggestion.
IF you are talking the SOCKET (Female holes) a small drill bit might work better than the screwdriver but either will work with enough WD-30 to flush it out. If you are talking the PLUG (the part with prongs) then the screwdriver is likely best.
When not plugged in a "Cap" over the beast might not be a bad idea.
After the WD-40 has basically gone away there is a product called DE-OX-IT (Give WD at least a month) and I'd spray 'em down with that as well... 5 or 10 if the contacts are fairly clean (DE-Ox-It comes in many "Strengths" from 5 to 90 or more. the bigger the number the bigger the $$$ number. it refers to the strength of the de-oxidizer in the spray)
