How do you remove flux residue after soldering?

Try Safewash 2000 and Saferinse 2000 from RS they work well for me.

.... and probably safer too!!!

Removing Flux

I usually use IPA with a toothbrush and pour copious amounts on, scrub, and make a huge mess. Obviously the purer the IPA the better. I think there are different grades available. I would say stay away from stronger solvents. And be careful with potentiometers and variable caps. They have a way of trapping stuff and then years down the road failing.

Yeah, IPA and a cotton bud is good. Interested to hear that it cause low level noise, though . Does anyone else have any experience with this 😕 ?

braided solder wick to soak up old solder and isopropyl 99.9% to remove residue.
