Default Removing old flux when desoldering?

Any suggestions for the best way to remove old flux from circuit

If you are covering a large area, use a paint brush thats about an
inch wide, cut the bristles about an inch long (till they feel stiff,
maybe shorter), dip in alcohol and it will scrub it till its like new.
