Pencil eraser is all I would use. However, if you got the device wet, I would let it dry first and try it again.

I doubt the SIM itself was damaged. How long did you let your phone dry before re-inserting the battery? You should place the phone into a container filled with rice, and keep it in a warm location such as on top of a TV or a cable/sat receiver for at least several days. The number one cause of dead devices after an accident involving liquids is rushing to test if it still works by putting the battery in.
