I am assuming that you machine wash the shake out dust bag regularly? Either way, a pipe cleaner with a piece of cloth on one end pushed through can be achieved as well as near wet wipes. I have used wet wipes before and find them to be great, provided I then push a dry lint cloth through the dry off the channel at the same time.
I realise there is a limitation in terms of a dirty fan vac design of an upright but if the Kirby's main dirt channel leading to the bag that can dismantled completely, i.e the filler tube as on the Kirby Tradition, then that's a start. If the filler tube is completely removable, its easier just to lay it into a bath of hot water and some washing detergent. This loosens all the muck and dog hair oil. Tubes can normally be hung up to dry right through, particularly if it is coiled where water will stay collected.
