It will detune hi freq stuff. Having worked in RF from the KHz to GHz, I know it effects sensitive circuits plus it picks up all kinds of crap. Better off cleaning it off with alcohol then blowing it off. If you dont plow it off, the stuff just moves around the board. I always soaked in 99% IPA (industrial), but above 70% is OK. You can get some 91 to 98 or so at some drugs stores

Yeah, thinking about it, you don't want any type of organic material around high freq circuits.
(I remember in Jr High, we used weak muriatic acid as a flux when soldering sheet metal.....really low frequency stuff ;) )
