No. Not a good idea. Too sticky. You'll end up doing more damage with that. We've gotten a lot of electronics with coke in them and they just don't work well.

You guessed it. The batteries have leaked and I need to clean it up and getting working again. I have tried to clean it up but there is a residue of the battery liquid and I am looking for a chemical that is not abrasive and is light enough to remove the remainder of the muck. Any suggestions?
