I have always attributed to flux and "lint".

But soon after cleaning and drying with IPA, we find a white residue formation. A: IPA will not nothing to clean your board. The white residue is exactly what you should expect. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background. >How do we avoid th

We are soldering a 8 pin TTL chip on to a CEM1 board that has a hot air level soldering. We use no clean soler paste for the reflow process. Now the customer wants us to clean since he is afraid of flux attracting the dust. We have some SMT LEDs that

lint from what?...also roughly how often do you clean the oven? (not the heated chamber) but other areas to keep them clean? The operator say he has had to do it twice in 2 weeks to keep it clean due to the residue

we had a project like this once. switched to using "genosolve" chemistry (US source, expensive) in conjunction with a degreaser machine, works fine if you can spend the money.

Dave is correct. No-clean flux + water = white residue (unless the proper chemical is mixed with the water). Additionally, no-clean flux + IPA = white residue. Many saponifiers work well as do other cleaning agents. White residue may also be a re

did you manage to get rid of it? if so, what steps did you take to eliminate it?

lint from the factory conditions, enviromnent you know. We clean every 6 mos. you seem to be accumulating quite rapidly. unless you are cleaning at the first spec of this showing up
