Several opportunities I found electronic boards from printers, monitors,
machinery in general, used by rats and roaches as home-sweet-home, or as
their preffered bathroom.  I believe that de deionized water should be
the best, but I always used plain tap water with lots of detergent and
regular soft brush to wash it all, lots of water to remove the foam,
then a nice air dryer (lots of air flow) to remove all the hidden water
drops in between the components.
