The problem with tap water is that it's just not water. There are many minerals dissolved in it. If you look at how "professionals" clean flood damaged electronics, they rinse it off with tap water first to remove the dirt and then rinse it off with distilled water to remove the tap water. Then they just dry it. The problem with just letting the tap water dry is that it leaves the minerals behind.
I did the same to my Apple Lisa to clean up after the suicide device went off. Works fine.
I'm hoping that I don't have to mention to unplug and/or remove the batteries, discharge the caps, etc, etc first.
