Probably would be best to soak them in a solvent tank and then use compressed air. I wouldn't brush them, you might screw up the holes as small as they are.

Soak them in Hoppes (brand) gun bore cleaner, found at any good gun/sporting goods store. You could even put them in an ultrasonic cleaner with the Hoppes.

Try any solvent, but Hoppes will make them perfectly clean and look brand new. Like the fella's said DO NOT take an abrasive or wire brush to them.
