Dishwashers are a solution as well as a moderately stiff brush, small pan
of a dish detergent/H2O mixture in a pan in a sink with rinsing done under
a stream of very warm tap water.
The things we must be aware of are the parts which can be hurt by water
intrusion and paper labels. With me, I try to maintain the stick-on labels
even if they are trivial. The obviously important ones are EPROM labels,
board part numbers and suchlike. Careful washing with a brush is best here.
However, unless there's a stuck-on layer of water-soluable glop on the
board, I just use a household vacuum cleaner and a soft 1" wide paint brush
to get dust and loose matter off and simply stay away from hydrous cleaning.

Why's everybody so afraid of putting PCB's in a dishwasher? At my old job Allison keeps mentioning putting them in the
dishwasher...
I'm somewhat hesitant to do so. But she's had good luck
with doing it...
That kind of scares me also. I've had good luck with
Mac's with a deep
sink, mild detergent, and a rather large food dryer.
