I usually dip the connector in the toilet bowl cleaner for 30 to 60 seconds, and then flush it THOROUGHLY will clean water, followed by a hair dryer to evaporate the water. Then, I put silicone or polyethylene grease on the connector contacts before remating the two halves.
The grease keeps OXYGEN off the contact, and that elminates corrosion.
