We used to use isopropyl alcohol (which I believe is the same as rubbing 
alcohol) to soften the flux, then something called Freon TF to wash it 
off.  Using only isopropyl made the flux sticky and horrible unless you 
used a great deal of it, whereas softening first with the isopropyl and 
then rinsing with the Freon TF worked quickly and effectively. 

We had the isopropyl in special squeeze-bottles with a brush head in the 
'spout'.  I suspect the Freon TF was bad for the ozone layer and may 
have been replaced by something else now.
