I taped over the openings, poured in some water and a splash of simple green, shook the whole thing for a while, and drained. (Simple green is an eco-friendly water based degreaser). Then I removed the tape and rinsed it thoroughly. I also washed the outside.

Then I turned it upside-down and placed it on some cartons. That allowed me to point a hot-air gun into one of the openings and force-dry it.
