You can try to use:
- Hot water + strong degreaser / alkali cleaner (parts cleaner or degreaser safe for metals (e.g. “Simple Green”, or industrial degreasers) diluted with hot water)
- Oven cleaner / heavy duty spray cleaner (Spray or soak inside the pipe with a strong cleaner (oven cleaner, or “Easy-Off” etc.), let sit, then scrub / rinse)
- Mechanical removal (Use brushes (steel or wire brush, flexible brush), scraping tools, or abrasive media (e.g. soda blasting, or very fine media)
You can also use Ultrasonic cleaning if you have the equipment for that.
