I take a microfiber towel and wrap it around a kitchen spatula and go to town! It works Great!

You can use your liquid of choice, but I'd try it dry first and see if it'd clean up!

Good Luck!

This is really great. It gives you much more leverage than a spatula.
I got mine at a local auto supply. I have seen them off and on at WallyWorld. Now, when you have time, can you clean mine too?

I use those compressed air cans like used for computer keyboards - they have a long "straw"
that lets you get down in there.

I used that today. But I first used a air compressor which did really good.
