Water.  Or water with some dishwashing soap, provided that you rinse

sure the card dries off completely before you turn it on.  Anything
without a transformer on it will be fine.  I've cleaned up //e and GS
mobos with the spray nozzle from my garden hose.  Do a light towel dry
to remove drops and hit it with a hair dryer for a minute taking care
not to overheat the board.  Then leave the card out in the sun for a
day or over a register vent (ac or heat) to let any moisture remaining
underneath IC's to evaporate.

I was thinking about a compound that we used to clean cards for
Telephone Switching Centers; those cards range up to $25,000 so you have
to be careful.  I'm looking through some of my old operations manuals to
  see if I can find out what it is called; I know it worked very fast
and did not damage anything on the card.  I do remeber it was made by or
for Western Electric, but you could find most of those products at other
places; one that comes to mind is GrayBar Electric, which you can find
in any large city and on the Web, their prices can be steep unless you
have a working account from them/

Hey, I've got a Greybar account, do you remember what the product
would be I would order from them?
I found the item in my operations manual, the problem is I can't see the part number on it and no name. I know from 40 years that the first part of the code is KS, but nothing else. I have a feeling that the product might not be used anymore. You could call Graybar and ask them if they carry a product that is used to clean circuit cards.
