[sdiy] Cleaning up battery leakage damage

Thanks for you quick reply Paul.

Is the "distilled" part important - I have a filter tap so the water 
from this will be mostly chlorine and mineral free.

I assume it is also important to wash the board thoroughly with water 
afterwards to get rid of any baking soda deposits.
