Olimpya is right. In our area where weather is salty,we always deep whole pcb in soap water(mild detergent).No need to remove any component only deep for around 10 minutes and wash with fresh water afterwards,then dryng it with air pressure and then completely  drying with hair dryer untll whole pcb dries.Most of the problems like disturbance in picture or intermittent problems can be easily solved by this method.
Only precaution is the PCB must be fully dried before connecting to power. No need to remove any part from PCB,you can put whole pcb directly to tray filled with soapy water.

we've been using laquer thinner(low grade)...textile reducer...apply on solder side.

but the best is water w/ shampoo!!! deep pcb while brushing w/ paint brush..
it is tough on removing dirt and oil...But mild on plastics...printed parts...and on glass..preserve colors and shine...(car shampoo will do also)
,,,just dry throughly!!!

I always used Electrolube FLU (Fluxclene). The larger can has a brush for cleaning or can use a toothbrush. Especially good after soldering to clean around joints. Smiley

if the PCB is very old, put it in a washing machine. I do this often, around the PCB you must put any cloth arround the PCB. After this it look like new. Wait two days and then use it. First time i havent believe, but its a good methode.

The Water+Shampoo method is really good. I use often marseille soap until i reach a consistent foam, then I treat the PCB with a soft brush or a toothbrush before wash, and the result is a really new PCB. I use it when there's a probability of broken lines, because the PCB turns to very clean and smooth surface thus is easy to analize it with lens.
The only advice is to dry the PCB with compressed air and then with a hairdryer before connecting it to the supply...
