On my take-a-part .22 LR, TAC65, can I usually try to clean it every 500rds or so by disassembly, soaking the baffles in carb cleaners and scrub with a brass brush, scrub the tube with carb cleaner and a nylon or brass brush, re-assemble with non-seize grease on the threads. Except for the end caps, steel, this can is aluminum and I'm leery of stronger solvents, ammonia, on it.
On my YHM 7.62 SS can I soak it over night in mineral spirits, blow it out and oil the outside, as per factory recommendations. No trash ammo goes down this tube and according to the manufacture it's pretty much self cleaning. YHM will clean them if they get really bad, I assume they take them apart and clean them and re-assemble. There's a homemade solution involving hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, NOT for aluminum cans, they talk about on the suppressor forums, but once it's used it's so poisonous there's no safe way to dispose of it.

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!

I use a automotive style parts washer, it has a pump and seems to clean mine pretty well. Put the pump nozzle into the opening of the suppressor and let it run for half an hour, finish with brake cleaner, then oil lightly.
a Pennsylvanian who has been accused of clinging to my religion and my guns......Good assessment skills.
I don't know this from experience but....all the suppressor warn against using an ultrasonic cleaner with aluminum and titanium suppressors due to them possibly pitting or cracking. Never tried it so I don't know, just passing the info along.
