For PCBs, I mostly use a soft anti-static brush.  If the PCB looks
passable at that point and works, I go no further.

On the other hand, I've gotten gear with three-quarters of an inch of
mouse droppings dried to the texture of concrete.  I've resorted to oven
cleaner in some situations, which worked surprisingly well.
