Or you just replace them, as needed?

Thanks!

In general, if they are acting up, it is wiser to replace the relay if available. Sometimes just cleaning the relay contacts will resolve the problem although it is often a temporary fix especially if the contacts are significantly pitted or damaged.

  Can you take them apart and clean the offending, pitted points?
  
  Thanks!

    You can clean clean the pitted/heavily oxidized contacts by removing the cover if they have one. If totally sealed, it's best to replace.If badly pitted, you can try sanding them down with very fine emory cloth or the like but again usually best to replace.
