I clean the chambers on my titanium cylinders the same way i do stainless:

Normally cleaning is to drag a .40 Bore Snake, damp with Break Free CLP, through each chamber.

When powder fouling from .38 loads in the magnum length chambers begins to build up at the front, I put an ordinary .40 bore brush on a short aluminum cleaning rod, chuck the rod in my variable speed drill, and use the drill to spin the brush at medium speed as I work it in and out of the chamber. The idea is to keep the speed fairly low, we don't want to cause a lot of heat buildup. 30 seconds of the drill is equal to 30 minutes of hand scrubbing with the same brush.

No problems at all, once i stopped using those darned 110 gr magnum loads.
