spark plug changes (VAG content)

I recall ex/occasional q-lister Phil Payne suggesting using a stiff paintbrush to brush out the plug area before taking the plugs out.  I've tried it and it seems to work pretty good.

Speaking of Audi I5 plug changes does anyone have any clever tricks for
cleaning the grit and gunk away from the plug before removing it?  I always
blast it with an air gun, but it doesn't always get all the "baked on" gunk.
I'm afraid of grit dropping into the cylinder when I remove the plug.
