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.
Why's everybody so afraid of putting PCB's in a dishwasher? At my old job
we used a lemon juice-based flux in the wave solder pot. It was supposed
to be no-clean but it just didn't work that way for the high-impedance
circuits we used. So we went down to the local TV & Appliance store and
got a Frigidare (IIRC- or else a Whirlpool) dishwasher. No soap, hot
wash, no rinse. Open door and let air dry. Worked pretty well except for
non-sealed switches, those sometimes got lime deposits.
