Define clean it out. What's wrong with it? Pictures?
All different proceedures depending the issue.
Solvents, vinegar, rust remover, acids, nuts and bolts or ball bearings (for aggitating), the list goes on...

Nuts and bolts, soapy water and shake the **** out of it. And then when your arms feel like they are going to fall off, Shake it some more. Dry well and pour a little rubbing alcohol in it. Air dry.
