Good morning,

Hope you can help with this: I need to remove some solder "grease" (what is left after soldering) in an environmentally friendly way and would appreciate a tip on how to do this ...

Best regards,

Jesper
 
Methylated spirits and a quick scrub with an old tooth brush works well for me.
Cheap and easy to get too.

Hi All,

Appreciate your suggestions. I reckon I already have a brush & alcohol or spirits in house so that probably will be my way to go.

Best regards,

Jesper
 
I read an H-P field service bulletin many years ago that said if you don't have the facilities to "completely" clean a repaired board, the solder flux from a repair should be left in place.

it does spread it but i do it in 2-3 steps and absord old alcohol each time so there is almost noting left on board
