I would advise against using denatured alcohol, sold in automobile parts
outlets for brake system cleaning...Denatured alcohol contains ethyl and
methyl alcohol and may contain acetone which can dissolve  plastic...100%
isopropyl is the approved chemical if you are inclined to clean the
flux...The board should not be left wet, it should be dabbed dry with a
soft cotton cloth, like an old T-shirt...That will remove the residue...

Remover C
from MicroCare: http://www.aedwis.com/microcare.html#flux .  It seems to
work
wel, but like denatured alcohol it does not "remove" the flux as much as
it
melts it and thins it.  Helps cosmetically, but does nto remove it.<
