Well, if it's completely dry before plugging in, it can definitely get rid of dirt. On hot surfaces it sometimes gets baked in and compressed air is too little

Just put it in rice afterwards /meme

There's an old video on derbauer's channel where he throws his motherboard used for ln2 overclocking into the dish washer and explains how it's actually totally fine if you're not stupid.

I would suggest dumping it in a 99% alcohol bath afterwards if you're gonna wash electronics in water. Alcohol will push out any water that gets stuck in any nooks and crannies and then it will dry without any residue.

Well, using IPA instead of water would probably be a better idea in the first place. But beggars can't be choosers, I guess ;)

What if we don't have any IPAs will a lager be all right?
