Does anyone have recommendations on how to effectively clean up a battery leak? I've never had one before, and it does not appear that the "brown" substance reached the battery spring on the bottom of my flashlight. There is a noticeable amount of brown, toothpaste like substance on one side.....I was using Dorcy AA's and noticed my light wasn't near as bright....hope this doesn't happen too often.

Another time, another place.
First wipe up as much as you can with a rag. Then mix up a strong solution of a cleaning solvent such as ammonia and wipe the rest up. Do this outdoors, wear rubber gloves, and don't breathe the fumes.
