After you get done soldering and fluxing up your board to solder a lot
of SMT components, what do you guys use to get it looking flux-free
and clean again? I tried MG Chemical flux remove and while it does
remove the flux, after washing it (with tap water) and drying it, it
leaves a nasty well-ish

If you use water wash flux and solder paste, you can use hot
water and a little detergent. Could use the dish washer machine too.

I use the really sticky dark orange flux (I think MG Chemicals). Is
water soluble flux better (for cleaning)?

It's crucial for parts to be quite dry *before* soldering - otherwise
the rapid boiling of trapped moisture can cause components to crack.
*After* soldering, it's much less of an issue. Many components can be
washed with water and detergent, no problem. Most resistors, ceramic
caps and tantalum

Thanks for the helpful information. Are ICs and LEDs generally fine to
wash in water and/or detergent?
Yes, should be fine - but probably a good idea to post wash with
alcohol and certainly give them a good dry.

So am I getting this right?
Step 1. Flux Remover
Step 2. Wash with soap and water (dish soap)
Step 3. Wash with Isopropyl Alcohol
Step 4. Dry
That should leave me with a nice clean board correct? Assume I have a
high mineral content tap water.

Yes, if the water has low mineral content.

Can I use this instead of distilled water?

Looks like you could use it after IPA for cleaning off rosin type
fluxes. Could be worth a try.
Thanks for your all your help guys.

The salesman from Nordson EFD (electronic fluid dispensing) said so.
