I don't know why not. Pure (or close to pure) water won't harm
electronics, provided they're dried after being immersed. But I'd
probably only use the water if I was trying to remove a water-soluble
residue, like coffee, beer or wine. Otherwise, I'd just take it apart
and use compressed air and a couple of fine brushes. You can buy
cans of compressed air at hobby stores or camera-supply stores.
