Cleaning brakes without taking apart?

My back brake needs to be cleaned as I really don't have any grip on it and it squeals quite nicely when I apply......

Is there any way to get the crud off of the brake pads without dismantling? Would putting warm/hot water on it help at all then giving it a blast of brake cleaner or not a good idea?

Any advice appreciated........cheers!

Mine are squealing. Brake cleaner will only solve the problem short term
