Deep cleaning a Celestron Astromaster 130 EQ

My daughter has shown an interest in the solar system and I wanted to buy her a telescope without breaking the bank. I found the above model on FB but it is incredibly dirty—the tube is filled with cob webs and bugs, the mirrors look dusty but I don’t think coatings are damaged. I think this thing will need a disassembly to clean. I’ve seen instructions on how to remove the main mirror and secondary mirror. Once those are out, what would be the best way to clean the tube?

Thanks.
