component cleaning and maintenance

I just acquired a Jolida tube amp and Coincident speakers, they have been neglected in terms of cleaning, so there's a fair amount of grime and caked on dust. I'd like to take apart the amp and give it a good cleaning, including the sockets and pots. Can someone recommend cleaners and equipment I should use? I've read Doxit is a good product for pots, what about the sockets?

The speakers also need a good cleaning having experienced the same neglect. how should I clean the drivers and tweeters? as they don't bush, blow or suction away?

are you referring to cooper oxide deposits on connectors ?

in any case, be careful what you use, as some chemicals , in addition to serving as a solvent, affect frequency response.

i would think dishwasher soap and water, taking care not to damage the component would be the safest approach.
