If you can get to the bottom of the valve casing, one trick is to insert the valve from the bottom and work it in and out a few times, being careful not to damage the valve guide, then wipe off the valve and wipe out the casing. Stuff tends to build up at the bottom of the casing, and this seems to clean it out without damaging anything.
