There may be a better way, but a basic universal technique for cleaning male/female connectors is:

Submerse the male connector in isopropyl alchohol (91% or greater). Insert and remove male connector into/from female connector repeatedly. Blow dry both connectors with compressed air or just wait 20 minutes for both to dry (doesn't really need to be this long, that's an overly conservative approach).

Which method did you use? The soaking method suggested by NoAffinity?
