Been a while since I took one apart, beware the springs inside absolutely fly out!!

Lever the base past the tags, then keep in an upright position, that is with the buttons on the top as you slowly lift the casing off the base, while holding the springs in on both sides. Once you have the casing off, you can get inside to clean the contacts.

Reassembling is more tricky. If you look on the sides of the inner part you can see a narrow arc where the spring goes on either side. After a bit of trial and error, I found what worked for me was to hold the springs on either side upright in the middle of those arcs while I slid the casing down over them. The top of the spring can go either side of the arc to go to the off position, when the button is sticking out, and is directed into the centre of the arc when the switch is in the on position, where it is held.

It worked for and got the switch working, I hope it works for you.
