Per Varmint Al, I put dies in the mini lathe, spin them, and poke a Q-tip up inside with FLITZ on it.

I disassemble my dies periodically, especially if some dirty cases have been run through and clean them just like my guns. Ed's Red solvent and plastic brisleted bore brush and patches. Light oiling every time i touch them.

Most brake cleaners for sale still are non-chlorinated. Chlorine makes it a stronger solvent but your genealogy will thank you for not modifying your epigenetics through toxicity exposure. Halogenated solvents are incredibly bad for living things.
I prefer Simple Green then a wash with dish soap and water. Hand dry (air dry will lead to rust) then apply CLP. Inside of dies such as sizing dies are just wiped dry and sprayed with Hornady One Shot spray lubricant (works great for smaller caliber cases like 223. Does not work well for big ones like 308).
