[sdiy] Favourite flux cleaning ritual?

[aankrom]

 Also steer clear of SD alcohol, which is ethanol with stuff in it to 
 keep it from being drunk, but not keep it non-toxic for topical use - 
 usually also called rubbing alcohol.
 
 Also you can get 70% isopropyl alcohol that doesn't have anything else 
 in it but water. 90% will probably clean the flux better.
