You can try spraying some contact cleaner into it, but if it helps, it will most likely be temporary. The issue is that all of the current passes through the contacts, causing arcing, pitting and eventual disintegration of the metal itself.
The best solution is to replace the switch and feed the power from the it to a relay. That way, the relay is taking the load. Relays last longer and are much, much cheaper to replace.
