I can honestly say in all my long years on this planet i have never ever ever hesrd of anyone washing electrical components
I would not do this to any electrical component even if i had pulled it out of a rubbish bin.
I have personally been doing it for several years now. To insure there is no problem, I normally use distilled water that I purchase at any grocery store. Works great!
However, as @Trekkie4 pointed out, make sure to remove the CMOS battery and as @JunkBear also mentioned, short the power pins out.
Manufactures actually use this same method when repairing boards or prepping for sending out as refurbished.
Of course manufactures have a much better "wash" station that most individuals would ever have.
