LOL. I should have donned a flame proof suit ;-).
What you remove by washing IMHO is spilled (spilt?) electrolyte, usually from electrolytic caps on their way out, and other impurities on the board causing weird shorts and near-shorts, creeping currents or whatever you call it, that cause unpredictable and illogical behaviour of the machine. Washing these irregular conductors away and drying the board thoroughly can make
it return to work properly.
