Most people just think water and electronics don't mix, when its really water and electricity don't mix. The components don't have any real issues especially solid state components. We had a laptop com into ourr shop that they spilled wine on, took it apart and cleaned it but wouldn't stay on, finally told them its buy a new mother board or we try "washing" it. took it in the sink and rinsed it out, sun dried + used compressor to get under the IC's and bingo, system worked fine.

I washed my small electric fan today under a sink of warm soapy water. No problem, been doing that kind of stuff for years. Blows 10 times as much air now.

Actually, The capacitors in some electronics usually discharge pretty quickly after being unplugged from the wall. Others don't, And if it contains a battery, It'll act the same as being plugged in.... So stuff can be washed if it's been discharged completely, and dries for a few days.

Step 1: wet electronics and capacitors.
Step 2: throw everything straight in the garbage.

compressed air is much better than water for cleaning electronics

nope. :)
Some dust is so hard to remove, that you can blow the chips of the board...

With proper drying there is no chance- the only problematic part is transformer. But it is soaked in lacquer. After first loaded run all remaining water evapourates. If you in doubt- heat PSU with hot air gun up to 110oC.
