If there's some dirt on the couplers, you can use a mild cleaning solution and a small brush to clean them carefully. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent any rust or damage to the paint. Also, don't expose it to extreme temperatures as it might affect the quality of the plastic and paint.
