Are they dirty or corroded? If they are then yes, by all means clean them up real good. Once they are clean, if the problem persists, check the ground and power terminal wires going to your battery.

Re: starting problems??

You can take your vehicle to Autozone and they can check your battery and starter while it's on the vehicle. You should check your battery first as well as the cables for the battery. If they are corroded, replace them. A lot of people don't realize that the corrosion can go beneath the insulation and create a poor connection. Cleaning the connectors, in this case, will not fix the problem.
