Any suggestions for the best way to remove old flux from circuit
boards when desoldering? The wick soaks up the solder just fine, but
the flux seems to remain behind.

some newer flux will wash away with water solvent based cleaners

rubbing alcohol is fine too

flux is non-conductive, residue wont affect anything, except if you
constantly obsess about it and gaze affectionately at your work

i mostly just leave it on, just like the asian mass produced junk we keep
seeing.

aesthetics really dont affect electrical performance!
