How to clean inside of straw

I have a plastic cup from a company I used to work at. I like this cup and it's very convenient for me to be able to drink water with the straw, so I use this very often. However, after longtime use, the tip of the straw on the inside has become dirty.

Does anyone have any tips on how to clean the inside of this straw? A typical cleaning sponge doesn't work since it's too fat. I'd like to be able to use some common household items, if possible.
