Scalding hot water and a soft wash rag will take it off fine. A little vinegar in the water might help a bit.

Another option is to wash with the hot soapy water and then spritz it with a mixture of 1 part peroxide and 2 parts water from a spray bottle and wipe out after it quits foaming to kill anything that the soapy water didn't.
