Default How to clean out head bolt threads on block?

Now the block is almost put together, I chased the threads on the head bolts and used a tap to clean off threads on block, now do I take a bottle of brake cleaner and spray the holes with it while the block is upside down, then use air for the rest to get all the junk out?

make sure to put some assembaly lube on the head bolts when you put them back in. I just dipped mine in some clean motor oil.
