    Cleaning the inside of a MCRES is a pain - I had to remove flux from mine (I was too lazy to rinse properly).

    Here's what I did (and it worked a treat):

    (if you don't have "Bounty" (now called "Plenty") then use any kitchen towel that is labelled as "strong when wet" - i.e. the stuff that won't fall apart in water)

    Okay, I had som light brown stuff all over my loop.
    In the res, pump, inside the heatkiller etc. And it won't come off with just a toothbrush or simular.
