Like wash board water, dust-free cloth, brush,Tweezers, static bracelets, finger gloves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the how the cleaning process we made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step1: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use brush to brush the solder joint and solder flux on the soldered PCB. Applying some alcohol or acetone onto the brush, do not use too much pressure, as this may cause the solder point to break. Repeat the procedure as necessary, to remove remaining flux residue on the PCBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blogimages\/2020\/06\/19\/19-2\/1-brushing-process-b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blogimages\/2020\/06\/19\/19-2\/1-brushing-process-s.jpg\" alt=\"PCB assembly\" width=\"401\" height=\"301\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Step1: Brush the solder joint and solder flux on the soldered PCB<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Step2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wipe with a clean dust-free cloth to clean the assembled PCB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep board clean and tidy&nbsp;to make sure no impurities and finger marks.
