    Take a string a foot longer than the pipe. Tie a nut on the end....hardware bolt and nut type nut. Tie a clean dish towel or wash cloth on the other end. Drop the nut through the pipe, then pull the cloth through the pipe with the said string. Repeat till clean.

    Be sure to use a strong enough string that it will not break within the pipe. Hate to lodge the cloth up in there.

    Also I'd recommend calling Reeflo. I've found them to be very helpful.
