A contact cleaner is also called electrical cleaner, switch cleaner, electrical contact cleaner, and, specific to automotive repair, battery terminal cleaner. It is a solvent cleaner designed to remove contamination from electrical contacts, or the conductive surfaces of connectors, switches and other electrical and electronic components with moving surface contacts. The goal is to quickly remove insulative contamination as quickly as possible, avoiding a lot of wiping and scrubbing if possible.
