A suggestion: DO NOT use either brass or steel wire brushes on the pallets. As stated, use a toothbrush (preferably the XYL's) with nylon bristles. Harbor Freight has them also.

for the M-15 my suggestion is to get an old rag,
lift up the typebars a bit from the back rest and
put the rag under the pallets of the typebars.
Then you can use whatever cleaning fluid or
device you want... if fluid, I would use a toothbrush
to scrub them! (an old one is fine!) or you might
get one of the brass brushes used to clean files, etc.
The rag will soak up whatever fluid and crumbs from
the cleaning and can just be disposed of. And you will
not get involved in trying to remove anything.
