Is it bad to soak the transformer? Or should I just use a spray bottle and a tooth brush.

First hot water with a few drops of Ivory dish soap, (That gets most of the crud), Then a simple green bath, (thats for the buildups), Then on problem areas, a quick wipe/dry with Butyl acetate. (A fairly harsh thinner ) .... Then dry under heat lamp, (or bake in oven) to displace moisture.
