What is important is to carry out drying out runs after the comp wash to ensure that all the residue evaporates and doesn't get left on the compressor. Rolls-Royce recently made us change our procedure form drying out at ground idle to drying out rotors running at flight idle. We exercise the air bleeds during the drying out run to ensure they are clear.
