Sand Damage - K100D

Strange, I can't belive this hasen't been discussed before but I can not seem to find it via search.

I am on vacation at Hilton Head anmd may have caused some sand damage to my camera. When swivel the preview switch forward (on the shutter release) I can feel that sand has intruded under the switch. After playing with it a few times and blowing it out, it now seems to work but I can still tell there is sand under the switch. The shutter button seems to work ok, but noticed a similar but somewhat less problematic symptom from it.

Now the question. Can I use contact cleaner spray to blow out the sand or will I be better using simple compressed air? Should I do either?

Thanks!
