Brush it off with a paintbrush? As long as its not open when u wash it in water you could do that. Just make sure you dry it properly to avoid any rust.

If there are no fans attached, I say seal it, and dunk it in CLR. That should probably work.

As for cleaning the inside piping, I think a distilled water/20% white vinegar solution is recommended? Would need a confirm on that though.
