Leaky nicad battery

Hi,

I have an old PC which has a leaky nicad battery soldered to the PCB. There is
stuff coming out of the battery, which has corroded the PCB traces near it.
This is probably the reason why the machine doesn't work properly.

Can anyone recommend an effective method of cleaning off this stuff so that
further corrosion does not occur? When it comes to repairing PCB traces, I
guess I'll just have to solder some wires in place.
