I just got scores from one of my beers . Still waiting on the other two

I cleaned it best I could, But I don't think I got everything. I too thought this was a possibility. Any ideas on the best way to clean it? Anything I can submerge it in? Thank you

Purchased an inertap flow control faucet. Everything works fine except now I have no head retention and the co2 bubbles are big and disappear quickly instead of the tiny ones that I used to have. The old faucet would produce a head that would lace all the way down the glass. I have changed...
