Percolator Coffee

What is the best method for cleaning the inside of an old style electric percolator coffee maker?
My friends tell me not to clean/scrub out inside with dish soap & water to remove the coffee residue/stain build-up.
One told me to use a vinegar & water solution.
I bought a beautiful one at of all places a Goodwill store it was a 1960's type with the long thin spout, and when I was a chef to get the tarnish and strains off of silver and aluminum trays a solution of hot water and washing soda, will do it, it is available in the laundry section, vinegar does work on mineral deposits and hard water issues, the flavours and tannins from the coffee imbed them selves in the pore of the metal, so you need to use something to remove them, vinegar is good for a rinse agent after the washing soda.
Add 2 tablespoons of washing soda to the pot and the fill it with boiling water, let it sit for 30 minutes and then remove it and then add the vinegar about 1/2 a cup with the same amount of boiling water, again let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it with cool water and dry it with a towel or paper towels. I do this every 2-3 months to keep it clean and the residue flavours from accumulating.
