I'm redoing the water lines in my house to remove the old galvanized pipes and soldered copper I currently have. I've got some old pex tubing (new, but unused/lying around for a few years). I see spiderwebs/cob webs, etc in it. What's the best way to clean/flush it out and sanitize it?

I have a beer line cleaner I was going to use originally but now I'm thinking it might only be designed to deal with old beer byproducts. Is a diluted bleach solution my best option? Lol, or just waiting until the supply houses open tomorrow and buying new pipe? (I just decided to do this project yesterday and I couldn't get new pipe on the weekend. I've had problems with the shark bite/cheaper stuff they sell at home depot in the past and don't want to use it)

Thanks
