Some good stuff to clean contacts such as input jacks is WD-40 which comes in a little blue spray can. Spray some on the plug, wipe it with a cloth and it will be good as new. Works for sockets, tone pots and any other place where there are metal to metal contacts.

No - you should not need to change everytime they get dirty. You can just clean them.

Quite alot of professional guitars use their jacks. They are a company specialized in makin this stuff. Cost round $15-$35 ba plus changing, see where u go.
