A fine bristled paint brush followed by canned air should be just fine.

I had this set-up from a portable dirt-devil. Tiny little brushes and attachments. I was able to attach them to my Shop Vac get some efficient cleaning done. :eek2:

Depends how clean you want it. When I retire a board from sub-zero benching I clean it up the best I can and then it goes in the dishwasher. Dry it with the heatgun afterwards and it looks brand new.

I've heard of people running KB's through dishwashers before, but never a motherboard!
But when ya think about it, why not? Do you just use regular detergent, Praz?

Regular detergent. Have to be careful of placement to water jets with Intel boards because of the CPU socket pins. Water is only bad for electronic components when power is applied. All circuit boards are washed in a chemical solution when built. Most now use a water based solution of some type. All traces of liquid need to be gone before the board is put in service.
