not really, only that one of the solutions is more or less alkaline than the other...
not necessary acid... and or other reactions taking place...
use caution...
depending on how well you can handle the board, maybe a little distilled water is called for with a light scrub...
after all, this isn't a car battery here in a old truck... it's a delicate instrument that someone wants to restore to use again...

Yes many times over the past 50 years as a service engineer, including computer multilayer boards. Proof that there is some acid content is the fact that the liquid bubbles as it neutralizes.
