How do you clean out a kong?

Okay, this might be a stupid question, but I can't seem to get all of the peanut butter out of the inner ring of the kong. It's a smaller one for puppies, but I can get my fingers up in there and I just don't think I'm scraping all of it out. Of course, Ragnar can't really get his tongue all the way to the end either. I've tried soaking in hot water, soaking in hot soapy water, running water through it, shaking it, pushing the peanut butter out the little hole, and running my fingers around inside it.

Am I just really stupid, since I've never seen any discussions of this problem :)?

We have a brush that works great. I got it at Target.

Ahh, my kingdom for a dishwasher! I'll remember that for when we finally move. Until then, I'll get that brush :)

You can also wad up a paper towel and use a chopstick to push the paper towel around and wipe the inside out. But it doesn't get it quite as clean as a real brush or the dishwasher would.

yup before we moved into a place with a dishwasher we used good old toothbrushes lol. Soaked em for the night then toothbrushed em. Still do sometimes when there's still caked peanut butter from the washer in there :P eww..
