Blowing the cartridge may or may not work.
Don't spit in my cartridges, thanks.
Only way to make them last is to use rubbing alcohol and q-tips.
I like how Nintendo carts specifically said to not use alcohol (or benzene!)
Contact cleaner is best, it leaves a light oily coating to keep oxygen out. To this day, I can still pop in an NES cartridge and have it work on the first try.
Isopropyl alcohol (a.k.a rubbing alcohol) works fine on just about any electronics, I've cleaned out entire PC rigs with the stuff just fine. It's more likely they mean ethanol or alcohol meant for drinking.
Contact cleaner is best, but not everyone has that stuff lying around.
