How do you guys go about CLEANING the Aqua C?

I clean the collection cup and the tube/tower pretty much every day. However, as far as the protein skimmer box itself, I don't have anything that can scrub into the protein skimmer far down enough. I'm usually caught in the bathroom using my shower head and shooting water into the protein skimmer to "try" to thoroughly clean out all the stuff in there.

Anyone have any successful attempts besides tearing the thing apart?
