Boeing strongly advises against water or detergent washing of the engine gaspath as this can cause accumulation of foreign material in the engine cooling flow passages.

Looks like dry motoring is the starting point, but not a lot of otherwise helpful info out there, other than vacuuming up ash wherever it is found.
