Default tongue and groove clean up old oak

have some 100 year old hard rock maple tongue and groove flooring that I
need to clean up and refinish. What is the best way to clean up the dirt
and grime that has fallen into the cracks and tongue and groove. I have
already taken up the flooring but having trouble getting the right tool
for clean up. Thank

....
Wire wheel in hand drill or mounted on drill press w/ a fence. I've
even used one in an old contractor saw in a pinch altho speed is a over
ideal. Obviously, use eye protection, and other appropriate gear such
as dust mask/respirator...

May have to customize one to get fully into the groove
