Default Tricks for cleaning around spark plug recession? (mud)

Hey guys.

Just curious if anyone has any tips or tricks for cleaning deep in the spark plug recession. After a couple of weekends (on a kx250f) in some terribly muddy conditions dirt and mud has managed to fight its way into the recession to the spark plug. I want the plug out so i am looking to clean it up pretty urgently. I have cleaned most of it out just with rags etc but theres still dirt and mud hanging around in the very bottom around the plug.

I don't have an air compressor but i can use a mates if i can't find any simpler fixes that can clean it thoroughly.

Anyone had issues with this, and whats the easiest way you have found to clean it out thoroughly?

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers.

What I have done in the past is to break the mud/gunk up with a pick or an awl, then just use a can of compressed air to blow the junk out. The aerosol cans are avail at any place that sells computer supplies, even WalMart.

Yeah - I agree. Compressed air is probably the only solution.
