There are several commercially available purging compounds that work quite well. I’m assuming you want the quick fix though. When I don’t have any of the commercial stuff available I usually reach for some acrylic regrind that I have lots of on hand and was given by another molder. If you have any blowing agent this also works well.
Here’s an old molders trick try sprinkling a little Baking Soda into the mix and crank up the temps a bit, a few drops of water won’t hurt either. It might foam up a bit but it’ll scrub the residuals out.
