Yes that may be worth doing on some sockets, some are very loose fitiing.
You can dismantle the keyboard by undoing the obvious
screws on the back.
It helps to take the entire keyboard out of the PET first. Then clean the
PCB contacts with propan-2-ol. You can try gently cleaning the conductive
rubber pads on the ends of the keys, but be careful as it's easy to
totally remove the conductive coating.

What about just spraying some TV tuner cleaner from Radio shack on the
contacts,
who that help ?
