What temperature have you used? Typical detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate may be good enough at higher temperature. If not, then you may need to go to a stronger alkaline cleaner that uses sodium hydroxide and a temperature of 55 degrees C.

Have you determined if it is worthwhile, or perhaps even counter-productive?

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
