The method usually means getting a paper towel or similar, cut a bit wider than the track, and soaking a strip with track cleaning fluid. Put over the track then put the loco on with one end on bare rails and the other on the towel. Hold the loco and turn on the power so that it rubs the wheels clean. You will have to move the loco back and forth a bit and probably shift the towel. Turn the loco around and repeat.
This only works with locos that have enough pickups to run from one end.
To clean car wheels, run them back and forth on the towel. You may have to manually clean stubborn bits of gunk.
