Careful !
Compressed air is dry and in a dry environment the blowing action quickly
generates a static charge.
Most CC equipment is particularly sensitive to static damage.
I prefer warm water and a brush -- sometimes with mild dishwashing soap.

- Brush and vacuum cleaner.
- Compressor. Use one that runs without oil. Some compressors need oil
to run and are "contaminating" the air with it. Somtimes there are litle
extra devices on the compressor to put a bit of oil into the air. Air
driven machines need it. But it is not good for electronics.
- Sometimes warm water and a brush to "simulate" a dishwasher. See the
endless dishwasher discussion. Soak PCBs after washing in Isoprop and
let it dry for some days.
