Comment Water won't hurt (Score 1) 512
I used to do consulting for a dentist who specialized in dentures. Every few months he'd call and complain that his computers were acting wonky. The dust that came from the denture material was conductive, and the computers would start doing strange things. I would pick the computer up, take it home where I would disassemble it completely. Then I'd give the components a full shower with hot water, followed up by drying with a blow dryer on medium heat and compressed air. Since it was Wyoming, there was little humidity and I was able to re-assemble the computers the next day. The computers lasted for years this way. Moral of the story: Water doesn't hurt electronics. I'd say wash them with warm water and a toothbrush, then blow-dry with warm air and compressed air. Don't re-assemble until they are completely dry, at least 24 hours or more depending on your climate.
