the best way to clean cpu water block

All depending on how dirty the block is (do you have pictures)
I use a toothbrush on my water blocks to clean all the pins.
I wash it in hot soapy water and give it a good clean.
Others put it in white vinegar, for a short period of time to get rid of any discoloration.
You can also use tomato sauce on the block (vinegar in the sauce)
If you do use vinegar, then don't let it sit in vinegar for a long time as it tarnishes.
