This sounds like the best method. Remember, it may take days for the water to 
eventually evaporate from
under transformers and surface mount IC's.

Run them through a dishwasher.  Formula 409 Glass and Surface cleaner (the
purple formula) is mostly isopropanol, water, and some surfactants and works
very well to clean boards without attacking the enamel on coils, the seals
on caps, etc.

Don't hesitate to ask for help if there is anything we can do from long
distance.  We were lucky with all the storms.

> my home and part of my business were destroyed by a flood caused by
hurricane Ivan, I live next to the Cullasaja river in Franklin NC, it is
near the Peeks Creek community, several people lost there lives and many
homes were destroyed as was mine. I had lots of home theater / PC's and TV's
in my garage and living space there(some of it new)...we had three feet of
water/mud inside...I am trying to dry out and hopefully salvage as much as
possible, I need some kind of circuit board cleaner that is cheap that I can
buy maybe a case to start with. any tips or help greatly appreciated.I had
no insurance and looks like Fema doesn't help much.
