Scroll down to cleaning PCB article for very detailed information on cleaning. It might be overkill, but it is a good read if you are interested. I just throw the really dirty ones in the dishwasher.

Water, make sure any batteries are removed before you clean them.
Quickly dry with a hair dryer and it's as good as new.

I did this on one of my dirty MVS carts are it fixed the gfx problems it had.

Water and PCB just sounds wrong. I don’t know it probably works but I just can’t get over that idea. Would Rubbing Alcohol a toothbrush and q-tips be another idea for some one that wants be more careful.

HAHA Did not realize he was banned. Yeah... I have a cart I got from Yaton and the insides where pretty nasty. Looks like some one soaked the PCB in some soda. Its got that kind of grime that only comes from soda. :-p

Nah, water does work as long as you throughly dry it after, the backs of PCBs can be cleaned like this at least, compressed air is your friend as well.

i think they suggested water because everyone hated the person posting. for the edge connectors you could use a pencil erasure. i've used them on plenty of my jamma boards and it worked great

No, water is a good way of cleaning PCB's.

I have cleaned board before with a hose and never had any probs, as everyone else says, you just have to make sure that you dry it well.

I have heard that places like mak wash their board using an ultrasonic bath, sorta like the ones that jewellers use to clean rings.

ArcadiaBay says they clean them in U.S bath as well.
