Yopu do NOT clean the pots... if you have noisy sliders, get some CRC226 at Home Depot in the electrical dept. Spray a small bit in the center of the slot for the slider and run the slider up and down. Use sparingly and apply a tiny amount once more. The sliders are NON_REPAIRABLE if this won't fix them and major disassembly is required involving removing the round knobs, fader knobs, screws and other nuts on the jacks. Hours of work. Pots require desoldering tool and use of soloder wick and plunger type removal tools often causes damage to the circuit board.
