One of these comes in handy too for coaxing debris and stubborn gunk out of crevices, etc. It's a pastry basting brush with super-soft silicone bristles. The silicone is impervious to most cleaning solutions. I'll either tamp it in or do a back and forth whipping type action. It's good at loosening up stuff enough so you can get it out with a cotton swab or toothpick with a little tissue wrapped around the end. Good for bridges too when you want to clean them but they're not bad enough to justify the trouble of a complete disassembly. Zap em' with Simple Green, let sit a few seconds, scrub at it a bit with one of these brushes, then blow it out with some compressed air and catch the splash-out with a clean rag. A few wipes with another rag and maybe a little mopping here and there with a cotton swab - and Bob's yer uncle.
