Id like to clean both PCBs. Can I just put some degreaser on the whole and leave all components to get washed or maybe should I remove some of them before? If yes, is it a company who can undo/redo and clean them proper?
^ This right here is why I don’t recommend washing boards to people ^The key is (a) don't plug in wet (duh) so make sure they are dry, and (b) don't leave them sit around wet where rust/oxidation could form
Very true, you have should have some basic knowledge of what you are doing, take the steps/prepare for what you are going to do. Like anything, its all in the details/prep. Gonna see if I get a really dirty ass board to wash and dry so you all see my process, dont be afraid to do it. If are doing it for the first time and are unsure just ask questions, post pics.^ This right here is why I don’t recommend washing boards to people ^
Most people are impatient and / or careless. I have and do wash boards depending on scenario, (mouse turds / piss) but for 99% of people in 99% of scenarios, the risk of washing with water outweighs the benefits, in my opinion.
Honestly the OPs power supply isn't even that dirty. I would just scrub a little bit of IPA on the grimy parts and call it done.^ This right here is why I don’t recommend washing boards to people ^

very true. that one I would hose down with ipa and brush it clean, Im at a point where Im buying ipa by the gallons though lol. Water and dawn/krudd kutter is cheaper.Honestly the OPs power supply isn't even that dirty. I would just scrub a little bit of IPA on the grimy parts and call it done.
In my case, I had a YATON power supply that was absolutely disgusting. I couldn't allow something that filthy be attached to my cabinet.
Same! Prices and availability for IPA were crazy last year. Maybe I’ll start washing with vodkaIm at a point where Im buying ipa by the gallons though lol
