[Solved] How to clean an area around a spark plug without compressed air?

I need to remove spark plugs for inspection. People say you need to clean the area around a spark plug in order to avoid trash falling down the cylinder.

I do not have a special compressed air tool. You can also buy a can of compressed air for $5, which is too expensive for me. I cannot bring my vacuum cleaner since my car (engine does not start) is parked in a public space with no mains outlets. 

I need ideas as to how to clean the area around spark plugs. I have a 12V tire inflator, but it will probably not blow anything into atmospheric pressure medium (or there is a protector on the needle that needs to be pushed). Thanks.

Purse your lips and blow.  Any small amount of debris will be expelled in the exhaust cycle.

Well if you don't have $5 then you'll have to blow. ((gigitty))

Grab a straw and see if you can blow it out of there.
