question

i have used a small brush to get the thermal paste of the underside of an amd cpu. my question is when i used the aritclean thermal paste remover solution on the brush then used it wiping the pins does that affect the cpu at all itself? also can i use that cpu in a brand new motherboard or do i have to replace it?
