2024-04-16 White Vinegar Isn’t Neutralizing NiCad Electrolyte

I put white vinegar on the areas where the NiCad juice turned the PCB green, and it didn’t seem to do anything.  So after awhile I washed it off with plain tapwater.  I used a soft brush and a lot of the green coating washed off.  It’s not in very good shape.  I’m wondering if I should try baking soda.  I know that baking soda is alkaline and it’s not supposed to neutralize NiCd electrolyte because it’s also alkaline.  But there are numerous recommendations in the Goo list that say use baking soda.  This makes me rather conflicted.
