The best cleaner is petrol! Doesn't need much, about a jam jar full. Pour it in and gently 'roll' the IC about so it flushes through all the channels. I taped-over all the outlets except the DV pipe to minimise spillage. Do this for a good 2 to 3 mins and leave to stand. Keep on doing it again and pour out safely.
It will be brown with disolved oils, gum etc. Remove all tape.
Leave outside for a few hours to dry off completely before re-fitting.
