I use Alconox, a trisodium phosphate based cleaner that's very

1" long by default, but you can easily trim them down to make them
much stiffer. They're good for scrubbing stuff like that...similar to

So what can you do with accumulated mineal salts around component
legs? Looks like tin "rust". I tried firm-but-gentle with a stiff
toothbrush, and didn't get anywhere.
I have that MV3100-90 board that I think just needs the corrosion,
which I suspect is conductive, removed.
