I have cleaned many TV chassis by throwing buckets of hot water over
the entire board. All the parts are water proof. Sometimes a paint
brush and soap (or window cleaner) is needed to remove some stuff.
Put a plastic bag over the CRT board to keep water out of the focus
arc gap (unless this board is really dirty and you don't mind heating
the CRT socket for a while to dry the insides out.
Finish with a hair dryer or portable heater. Make sure to apply plenty
of heat to the bottom of the flyback (sometimes water gets between the
bottom and the board and takes a while to dry out).

air-dry
