Learn how to clean HVAC components like a professional...

You are either using the wrong cleaner, the wrong cleaning tools
OR not repeating the process enough times...

If you have removed the component from its normally installed
location you could consider attempting to clean it in the dishwasher
if it will fit, or pressure washing it...
