What's the best thing to clean the inside of my tyre with before I try tubelessing it?

I don't normally bother but this one seems to have quite a lot of mould release agent on it.

I've got a feeling someone mentioned isopropyl alcohol, but I might have made that up...

If it is the thing to use, where do you get it?

IPA. Some chemists sell it, online or even Maplins.

Talc is the best natural dry lubricant for sticky new rubber.

Talc doesn't bubble to show you where your tyre is leaking though...
