    I use Caig's DeOxit Red pot cleaner for my basses and my amps. Same principle for 1/4" jacks on amps. Spray the cleaner into them, work a 1/4" plug in and out and around to clean out the crud (scientific term there) that builds up from the atmosphere and the electrically charged circuits. Do this to all the jacks, whether you normally use them or not, as in many amps the signal passes through all or most of the jacks on the way to the amp outputs. Keeping all the pots and jacks will keep many of the noisy equipment gremlins away.

    I do this on an annual basis as part of my ongoing gear maintenance routine.
