cleaning pcb's and opinion on running them in dishwasher
i do alot of soldering and hate working on filthy boards and monitor chassis so i always clean them in a big sink with soap water and simple green purple but that seems to take a long time. i just don't feel right sending them through my dishwasher that my dishes go through but i have a spare disher now and i ran them through my spare dishwasher and they seem to come out perfectly clean, but so far no problems and i am wondering if anyone else have done this and if they have come across any issues caused by doing this?? (no heat dry of course!!!!) it sure is a time saver but i haven't found any negative side affects yet and i blow them off wth the compressor and then leave them air dry for almost a week. i don't use any rinse aid only dishwashing detergent (LIQUID ONLY) so it completely desolves and doesn't leave residue and i usually add a cup of the simple green purple also. anyone try this and have any negatives???
