A non-toxic, non-corrosive foaming soldering flux (14) comprises citric acid and water, together with at least one foaming agent. The foam is fast-breaking, dissipating almost immediately. Such a fast-breaking foam is novel in an aqueous-based flux. The unique flux of the invention produces solder joints of high metallic luster and excellent quality. Disposal presents no health hazads, and clean-up of flux residues is accomplished using only water and, optionally, a surfactant.
