If you have an ultrasonic cleaner it seems that will work with the correct cleaning solution. I have had some amazing results after purchasing one, it's a good investment, that, for me, has paid dividends.

Just watched a video on this very subject, and best results seemed to be bleach, washing up liquid and boiling water?, the chap also used, bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar and dishwasher tablets with little or no effect. I should add his exp tank was quite heavily rust stained internally.

As above, and I cut the head off a toothbrush and fastened it onto the end of a bit of coat hanger wire.
Top bodge.

Try a babys bottle cleaner, with gunk, then clean that out with hot soapy water, the gunk should help with any oily stains

The cleaning solution I find best is biological washing powder with hot water, it's a degreaser, most have bleach in there too, it's slightly abrasive, washes off with cold water without leaving anything behind.
This is only biological washing powder. not liquid tabs or any other type.
I use it for most cleaning duties with a small dustpan brush. Works well.

About ⅓ full with washing powder solution, couple of teaspoons of uncooked basmati rice. Shake well. Rince well. Job done.

I just put mine in the dishwasher, which did a good job. Your bracket is already rusty. So it's not going to make that any worse.
