Hello everyone, I have many famiclone (nes clone) cartridges and I want to clean them to a degree where I don't need to constantly clean them with alcohol for them to work. I posted some examples of how they look (the examples are already clean, I have many more to clean). Some of these are very stubborn with years of dirt on them, so cleaning some of them with alchol is ineffective.

I have determined washing them with baking soda or washing powder in water gives the best results in making the pins look and work brand new. However , I am worried about the long term sideffects of this mettod. If I wash a pcb for around 2-3 minutes each, then blow out the water underneath the chips with a compressed air spray and afterwards dry out the pcb with a hairdryer, would that cause problems after a period of time? My question is would it corrode pins/ traces or damage the chips and epoxy blobs on the board?
