My S3-line acquired a chronic case of creeping fungus on the chassis
while packed up and stored in the Philippines for 4 years. Returning
home, I took it to the DIY car wash a couple of times and then dried it
in the sun. Seemed to work really well, except for the fungi living in
the IF cans. YMMV, I won't be doing that to my K3 however.
I'd be real wary of any kind of solvent(s), circuit boards used to be
washed with distilled water, maybe still are. Here in No NV, our
humidity runs in the single digits in the summer, things dry in the sun
very fast.

NOT recommending this because it requires a great deal of
care/experience, but I, as my OCD dictates, also clean individual
circuit boards with 99% alcohol followed by hot water. Water is bad
juju in the wrong places and you absolutely MUST make sure that it is
all removed (I use elevated temps in a low humidity environment) prior
to reinstallation.
