With water soluble you really need to have a good cleaning system to get ALL of the flux out from underneath the parts. At my last job we had a large industrial washer. It worked fairly well, but in certain areas it would not clean very well... I still prefer using water soluble because it's easier for me to touch up. I've always just washed it off with extremely hot water and scrubbed it with a toothbrush. Worked fine, but I never had very many large parts on the boards I've washed by hand. I personally prefer the look of a nice clean board verses one covered in no-clean or rosin core flux.
