Does anyone know what the recommended procedure is for keeping the inside of a rigid sheath clean? Plastic, glass filled nylon, PVC, kydex, etc. is there a standard way of cleaning dirt and old oil out of the narrow confines when real life gets to happening and things don't stay clean like they should?

I use small nylon pipe brushes and warm soapy water (or whatever), then rinse and let dry.
 
warm soapy water, shake and let dry. Be careful not to use compressed air too much cause you can push dirt between the kydex layers and make a gap in the seem.. I know with kydex they are pretty resilient to a harsh cleaners so I'm not afraid to let the cleaner lift off the crud.
