How about pouring some oil in and leaving it overnight? It might soften the old blobs of oil enough to get them loose.

Lakeland Limited do little balls, like ball bearings, that you put inside bottles or vases and swirl round with water, that scrub those hard-to-reach corners. DI've never used them myself but I've heard good things about them.

Cillit bang? The adverts claim it cleans absoutely everything. Not sure I'd want it near my stomach lining though.

Washing up liquid?

Lakeland's little ball-bearings are of course the safer substitute for lead shot, which is the traditional agitator for cleaning decanters after the port has just got too crusty. It is supposed to work; I've never tried it, because, well, lead shot (and I didn't know about Lakeland)...

The decanters I did earlier, and the bottle brush worked fine for that.
