Make sure any big Caps are discharged (actually, I'd avoid PSU's as
well), Otherwise, the materials used are all impermeable to water.
Metal rust takes a few days in water to really begin and modern plastics
are waterproof, etc.

I wash in a tub of water to avoid the high temperature steam.
As for drying, I do a sort of toweling off, usually with paper towels, then
air
dry for safety, 1~2 days.
