Wire brush, compressed air and a lighter.

Wire brush the plugs to get the tough stuff off, hit it with air from a can to blow the little bits away, and light it to make sure it's not still wet.

Then follow regular deflooding process and put the plugs back in.

Easy as pie.

(in a pinch, just the wirebrush, blowing on it and using shop towels will do)

ether (sp?) works very good, but the plugs should be changed.
