Loose stuff should be removed by dusting, vacuuming or blowing off the

A word of warning here. Some offal contains infections germs and can
spread disease. Don't inhale the stuff. I'd recommend vacuuming it up
instead of blowing it around. It might be a good idea to wear a dust mask
either way.

Lastly, you should do all the above in the undisturbed privacy of your
home. A number of years ago, a friend's salt sculpture atop his TV
broke filling the set with the super-saturated salt solution. I told
him to take the set out back, remove the back, and hose it out. A nosy
neighbor asked what he was doing and he said that he was watering the
set to make it grow bigger. He related the line to the sheriff that
subsequently showed up. I then spent the afternoon convincing the
psychologist that hosing down a TV was a rational act...
Rofl!
