Undergravel Filters


I have been “into” fish for many years but never had an undergravel filter system before (they came with my numerous two and three-gallon tanks and my five-gallon tank). How do you actually clean these things? I am guessing that using a siphon isn’t enough to get everything from the underground filter.
Speaking of cleaning, is there such a thing as a small siphon/gravel cleaner for small tanks? If I were to use the one I use on my 29-gallon and 55-gallon, these tanks would be emptied in a heartbeat.
I do regular PWC’s on all these tanks but still would like to clean the gravel sometimes.
