[chbot] Non-destructive PCB cleaning strategies?

[Tim Buchanan]

Hi Andrew,

At my work, we use isopropyl alcohol and a combination of gentle scrubbing, using a cotton bud, or a tissue. For extra stubborn dirt we use an ultrasonic cleaner filled with IPA.

You can soak them in IPA, just be careful of plastics and batteries. 

Doesn't hurt to give them a blow with compressed air or air in a can to help dry the board after cleaning.

Thanks,
Tim
