Well, too late! I was left to my own devices

I remembered the trick of taking a fairly thick towel and looping it between the slides and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY pull while gently massaging back and forth. Basically once the initial movement forward is made its all gravy from there.

Now that I have removed all slides I have noticed a decent amount of buildup of grime that I would like to remove before greasing it up again and getting set to play. Is there any easy way to get out the gunk other than with luke-warm water and the snake brush?

Would it be a horrible idea to maybe use a small mix of water and liquid Dawn or something to that effect?
