I have a friend who tells of starting his cleaning process by running
his boards thru the wash cycle of his kitchen dishwasher, with soap.

Bob Pease swears by this process. He writes (in "Troubleshooting
Analog Circuits", a book I most strongly recommend) that when he's
working on PC-board circuits which require low leakage currents, he'll
run 'em through the dishwasher, standard cycle, using a normal load of
Calgonite detergent.

I have the book, and I read it years ago, but I'd forgotten that Bob
also did this.

I used to use the auto dishwasher trick at the Orlando TEK field office,on
2236 DMM boards,cured many leakage problems.used Calgonite,BTW.

And we had a drying oven that had a negative pressure inside.
