It is definitely aggressive. You really need to clean the board often with hot
water and a brush. I also keep isopropyl alcohol and a brush on my bench.

I have had a few circuits come back to life after a good cleaning. Now I
take a break every hour or so and clean. Also gives my eyes and back
a break ;)
