MOTM

What I would suggest (ROHS or not) would be to take an old (ie, not used  
for anything other than electronics) sponge (or rag) and some powdered 
cleanser  (eg: Ajax) and water, and give the boards a little scrub to brighten up 
the  copper and remove any tarnish/oxidization.
 
Am I wrong to do this?

Merry Christmas too all.

These  parts and PCB's are a good five years old, so I'm sure everything 
is pre  ROHS, but wanted to know if I need to do any prep work on the 
parts leads  or boards.

Any suggestions or just fire up the iron and let the flux do  it's job?
