Cleaning sticky toggles

Probem is - toggle switches on 2005 S maybe have finally had too much coffee splashed on them over time, from the cupholder, the window switches on the ends are a bit sticky and don't always spring back to center pronto when i open the windows... Should i just spit on it and work the switch a few times? Any help out there?

Thanks,
Tatt

Pick up a can of Contact Cleaner. I get it at Radio Shack. Just spray it on and work the switch.

Exactly. The auto parts stores have the stuff also - electrical contact cleaner.
