If you lower them, does that help. I just cleaned while up and then lower them and cleaned while dropped. I used toothpick or pin to get stuff out and took the shop vac to the spot.
One of my favorite 'tool' for cleaning in hard to reach places are pipe cleaners. You can get them in all thicknesses. They help me out alot cause you can bend them to reach where you need to get and the little fibers on them grab lint like a magnet.
