An instrument I acquired recently had some very weird dirt on inside and around the tone holes and many parts of the instrument, not the bore however. Some tone holes had an actual film in them that could be pulled of. What I did was to use isopropyl, but most of the dirt remained. I eventually rounded the edge of a plastic spudger and removed some of it.

I'm not sure how to go on, but this certainly didn't belong to the clarinet itself, but it might've been resinified oil or dried saliva, yuck.
