Where is the original post? Yesterday? Damn, I can't find it
Great video! In the same site, I've found this photos:

Advice: if you sometimes suffer a flooding, it's not the end! You can wash your PCB boards/carts with detergent and clean water. The carton & prints is worse, but the consoles will work perfectly.

Oh yeah, I wash hardware all the time. I don't quite understand why people think it will be damaged from water when it is off.
No matter how many times you've done it though, it still feels strange putting a precious PCB into the sink.

Well, it is easy to think that an electronic item can be damaged by water. But as no electricity is going through the circuit (since it is turned off!), there's no damage. My experience says that water is more a friend of a pcb that an enemy, as far as you dry it quickly.
By the way, some of you have some flooded things that want to give me?

Some time ago, I bought a MVS board incredibly cheap ($4). The seller told me he won't be able to repair it...
Finally the only fail was a huge amount of dirt in the CPU legs. I washed it, brushed it, dryed it and voilá... working as a charm.
The same with an Irritating Maze cart. It is somewhat rare, but no problem since I washed it (2-3 years ago).
Should we change the thread's name?

Not sure the soap is such a great idea.. I just use plain water without a brush, the water pressure from the tap is usually enough to remove any dirt.

In some cases you get a board splashed with Coke or something sticky, and the plain water is not enough. With soft cloth detergent and a soft brush it will shine.
Treat the boards the same you treat your own skin. You never use bleach on your hands, right?
I never understood how can a beverage reach a pcb inside a cab.
