Can you clean contacts of an eye infection?

I recently just caught another eye infection from a contaminated case of mine and I was curious, can I rub my contacts thoroughly enough to get rid of the infection? They're roughly pretty new and I just put them in not too long ago and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to waste another pair. mine cost quite a bit so I was hoping to save them somehow.
