I soak mine in wizzoxy for 10 minutes and then use a pull through to clean any remaining gunk

Attach a funnel to it and pour boiling water down it?

Or, put some sand or small stones down a funnel and into the tube then 'massage' the area until it's all lifted?

I would think that option would scratch the inside of the tube and make a nice bacteria hidy hole.

Syphon hose is cheap, I'd buy some new stuff it it's got that bad.

For stuborn stains and gunk on plastic I use vinegar and uncooked rice. Use it in my Jerrycan primaries. Works a treat.
