You could look at the manufacturers data sheets and see what they say about 
washing.  It is or was common practice to run PCBs through some sort of 
washing step after they get out of the wave solder machine.  If parts can't 
take that, there is usually a warning in the data sheet.

If you can't find the manufacturer/model, check data sheets for parts that 
look similar.
