Good way to remove capacitor jizz off a PCB?

I have an amp that has been sitting for a few years when the big electrolytics blew up inside the amp and covered the board with cap jizz. What would work good to remove this stuff? I got some of it off with alcohol, but there is still some on the board.
(The amp still works after I replaced the caps.)

Liquid freon and an acid brush...but Greenpeace will kick your door down. Maybe some dry cleaning solvent? or light mineral spirits?

What I use to clean flux from boards(should work on this too) after soldering is a spray can of break parts cleaner from the local auto supply. Cleans well and evaporates with no residue.
