Remote control for what?
If you don't have any electronic contact cleaner, then you can use some high purity rubbing alcohol.
Edit: Is this just like a TV remote and the battery contacts are corroded? Just get some whatever 70% alcohol and a qtip and rub them down. When you put the new batteries in spin them a few times to make sure they make good contact.

depending on the remote, you might just be able to download an app and use your phone instead.
i had a neighbor saturday night who set up this whole outdoor projector theater & tent thing for his kid's birthday and all his friends and he was super upset and about to take it all down because he couldn't find his firetv remote.
i told him 'you know you can just use your phone...'

wiped them down with some vinegar on a qtip, so far working much better

Baking soda helps neutralize it too.

If its rust, might be able to get some sandpaper in there.

baking soda and water, put it on a q tip. Baking soda is a base so it will neutralize the acid.
