I use Safewash 2000 from Electrolube, specifically designed to remove heavy
flux/dirt from pcb's.
It comes in an aerosol can with an integral brush - it also foams which is
the clue to a better cleaning action it appears.

Servisol "Foaming Cleanser" is the best

electronics - it's most often used on the outside of cases, but it
certainly doesn't do the innards any harm IME (and a chap I know who
runs a test/measurement dealership uses a LOT of this stuff - he buys
it by the case on a regular basis).
I'd be wary of it possibly taking delicate screen print off PCBs
(check first on a piece of text you can afford to lose) but not about
much else.
Watch out for any ceramic ICs. It doesn't take much at all for the black
lettering to come off the gold portions!
