Proper cleaning assures the replacement of surface corrosion inhibitors from the contacts. Without the corrosion inhibitors, small breaches in the gold plate will allow the layer underneath to corrode, both producing contaminant particles and interfering with the electrical contact, rendering the card inoperable.

In addition, rubbing the contacts with an ordinary cloth exposes the card to the development of a static charge, which can damage the delicate memory circuit inside the card if the charge passes through the connector. Many cloths also tend to shed lint when used, potentially introducing rather than eliminating contaminants.
