Need Help in cleaning Extrusion Dies? ( Brass )

So,  I have an extrusion pasta machine. ( Arcobaleno )

I could easily clean rope/ pasta's dies ,  but the more intricate the extruded pasta gets.  The dies are getting harder to clean.

 

I just feel like I don't want to leave dies in water/oil for ever.  I need ideas on something that can get my dough out.

 

Currently using compressed air and picks  ( btw )

 

Thanks   for any input

Maybe contact the manufacturer for their recommendations.

Yeah  @Okanagancook  --  after I posted it,  I decided to call.

 

They recommend just leaving the die in water.  It just seems like I change the water often. PIA

Could you use small (pipe cleaner size) brushes?  I have some that came with sets of glass straws.

They are flexible enough.

I'd be happy to send you some if you think it might work.
