  Antique Electronic Supply in Arizona sells a set of tiny brushes designed specifically for cleaning tube sockets. Dilute pure alcohol, or dilute alcohol with a nonionic detergent like Kodak Photo-Flo, is a reasonable cleaning agent. As Rushton already wrote, Walker SST is definitely NOT a cleaning agent. If you use Walker SST, AFTER cleaning your sockets, you apply it to the tube pins, not to the socket itself.

  For cleaning, Caig DeoxIT works well and so does 90% pure isopropyl alcohol. Always apply first to a cleaning cloth, Q-tip, pipe cleaner, etc., never directly. Walker SST is not a cleaner, it's a contact enhancer to be applied only to already clean surfaces.
