This is a very expensive way to clean boards.  If you buy denatured
alcohol or pure methanol, you'll get your boards clean and you won't
have to pay a sin tax, either.  You should wear gloves as well because
the alcohol will wreck havoc with your skin.

Don't use methylene chloride - it can attack some expoxy based components.
