A method of cleaning an innermost surface of a pneumatic tire and a respective tire is disclosed. The surface (10) has a residue (12) deposited thereon. The method comprises the steps of: activating a laser to generate laser radiation; directing a pulse of laser radiation to impinge on an area of the innermost surface (10), the pulse of radiation having a pulse width and a fluence sufficient to remove at least part of the residue (12) in the area to form a cleaned area; and repeating the step of directing the pulse of radiation sequentially over the innermost surface (10) to form a sequence of cleaned areas, the sequence of cleaned areas defining a stripe (14, 114), the stripe (14, 114) following a continuous nonlinear path (15) extending at least one circumference about the innermost surface (10), the stripe (114, 114) having a stripe width (W2).
