Carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner and a lint-free rag of some sort. Don't use any abrasives at all, if you take any substantial material off the bore, the piston seal cups won't seal, and you will have weak brakes.
If it is pitted, scored, or otherwise damaged, replace it. Peter

Throw it in the sink when it is all apart, and clean it with dish soap and hot water!
Re-assemble with brake fluid.

Ditto to Peter's remark about replacing it if it has any pitting at all! Your life as well as others are dependent upon your car to stop. On a master cylinder I would suggest a new one be bought instead of a kit. Cheap insurance as well as peace of mind.
