Scott, I have used Formula 409 Glass & Surface cleaner to wash boards in this type of case and it works very well. The Glass and surface cleaner is mostly isopropanol and 2-butoxyethanol (the latter is the primary ingredient in other 409 products. This combination works very well and does not attack plastics, enamels, and copper. I have a hard time finding it so good luck. If anyone knows a source for straight isopropanol I'd like to know.
