I have had excellent results using a citrus based cleaner (somthing with lemon 
or orange).  Wash it thoroughly using a toothbrsh and rinse with water.  
Thoroughly dry using compressed air.  I let it dry further by letting it set 
for a coulpe of days.
I never had a problem with this method.
The board comes clean looking like new.
Hope it works for you.
