You can use a jumper to bypass the relay long enough to get her home. Connect the jumper from fuse 4 to fuse 6 (1985-1993)and the pumps will run if the relay is at fault. Older cars are different fuses don't know the numbers- just jumper the fuse that runs the prepump to the fuse that runs the main pump.

Be aware that with the jumper in place the pumps will run even with the key out so be sure to disconnect the jumper when the car isn't running.

Chances are your relay doesn't need "cleaned" it needs to have the joints resoldered. I am assuming your mechanic cleaned the fuses terminals while he was cleaning things.
