Sticking elevator buttons in humid climates

I mean, I keep seeing buttons that don't respond right in buildings near the coast. It was just corrosion on the contact points under the panel. A little contact cleaner and a soft brush fixed it up every time.

Salt air gets into everything by the ocean.

Worked for me too, contact cleaner fixes it.

Yeah, a quick spray of WD-40 did the trick for my rusty patio lights.

Watched my friend in a Florida condo deal with a stuck lobby button for weeks. The building's humidity just turned the dirt into glue under that panel. He finally used some contact cleaner and now it clicks like new.
