Default Cleaning leaked electrolytic & corrosion on PCB

DaveC wrote in message
...
What is the best method for cleaning up leaked electrolyte? This PCB has

some
corrosion on IC leads and vias.

Is there a corrosion neutralizer that would be effective? Since the

potential
for corrosion in places that aren't accessible (deep in the vias), a

liquid
that can neutralize corrosion is called for.

Would something like DeOxit work in such an application?

This is on a Tek scope acquisition board.

Thanks.



litmus test first to see of acidic or alkaline and go for the opposite as
cleaner ?
