Here's a copy of what I posted to RGVAC once:

Here at work we let boards soak in alcohol for a while followed by manual
scrubbing with detergent and water. This helps to remove excess flux.
After that we rinse the board under running water and dry it quickly with
an air gun/compressor. The board is tilted during this last part and air
is rigorously applied close hand in order to remove water trapped under ICs
and between pins. That usually gets rid of the water however they are left
in front of a fan for a period of time just to make sure that they are
completely dry.
