Vacuum as much loose dust, debris, and soot as possible to make it easier.
Use one of these solutions:
Make a paste of baking soda & dish soap then scrub with a brush. Let sit 5 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Spray with white vinegar & water - 50/50 mixture.
1/2 cup dish soap + 4 cups water in a spray bottle. Spray & scrub, then rinse.
2 Tbsp Borax + 4 cups hot water + 1 Tbsp dish soap. Spray, scrub, then rinse clean.
Use a soft scrub brush, vinegar(1 C) and water (1 gal).
