I think we all use the same tricks to clean carboys. A little soapy water, a dishrag stuffed down the bung and agitate the hell out of it. Take a carboy brush to the more stubborn parts, swirl and curse, swirl and curse...
Some krausen just seems to stick to the top of the carboy, no matter what you do.
Now's the time for power tools.
You assemble your parts...a steel rod, a green scrubby pad and a hunk of sugru.
Sugru the scrubby pad to the steel rod and wait 24 hours for the whole thing to cure.
1 scrubby pad, sugrued to a 1/4 inch steel rod and rolled up will just fit in the mouthpiece of a carboy.
Chuck the other end into your cordless drill and watch that krausen disappear.
Now look at that shiny clean carboy!
