singlehum Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What's the best way to clean the mess left in a piece of electronic gear by leaking batteries? In this case, it appears to be limited to the battery compartment. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

velorush Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 HA! Make sure the vinegar is dry before hitting with the baking soda or you'll be in for a cool surprise!
mathman Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Yea, forgot to mention that. Let it dry completely between. Oops.
tomteriffic Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 All of the above. You might need a small brush (sacrificial toothbrush, etc.) if the buildup is real bad.
