The problem here is taht the copper layer on the flex circuit is quite thin, so there are a lot of chances that it has been completely destroyed by the leak. You can start with a wet cotton to remove any leak rest and then gently polish with metal cleaner. If you find that the copper layer is removed, The Calculator Store has a repair kit that will let your battery contacts as new.

Regarding the wet cotton, would just water be sufficient?
