A labyrinthine channel system which may contain parallel channels and dead-end zones is cleaned by flushing with a liquid solvent containing dispersed bubbles of a suspended gas. The gas is in the ratio of at least one volume of gas for each three volumes of liquid. Preferably the ratio of gas to liquid is 1:1 or greater. The liquid is preferably the continuous phase. By injecting pulses of additional gas into the dispersion, even greater effectiveness is achieved. The system is particularly useful in cleaning equipment containing high viscosity substances, such as adhesives.
