What's a good way to safely clean a dirty slimey quick attach hydraulic fitting? also what kind of covers do you put on John Deere quick attachers?

A rag? Joking aside non-chlorinated brake cleaner has been working for me. Economical also.

should I worry about it drying before putting it back on? will it evaporate?

A rag or paper towels and spray brake cleaner

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner is just lacquer thinner or something similar. It evaporates very fast.
