Default how to get oil out of your spark plug holes????

i have a 94 integra ls with 140xxx. i have got some oil in 2 of my spark plug holes. probably the valve cover grommets i hope. theres some oil on the plug wire itself so thats why i say that. i pulled the spark plug out and theres some oil on the threads also. the oil must have gotten on the threads from taking the plugs out right? how do you get the oil out of the spark plug hole or clean it before putting the plugs back in? any help will be appreciated.

Blow it up Haha jk I strongly recommend the paper towel thing ,either way if it fell down onto the combustion chamber it would just burn up and do no harm to your engine

If you have compressed air you can put a paper towel or shop rag down into the tube with the spark plug in. Then use the air or air gun to blow, it'll blow up onto the towel to absorb.
