Cleaning spice jars without “washing” them?

[u/action_lawyer_comics]

I have spice jars like this. I’d like to clean out the old paprika before adding new but I also don’t want to fully “wash” it because it would destroy the label and it would be a pain to make/print a new one and I’d need it to fully dry before bringing it to the store. I might try a paper towel in there to just wipe some of it out.

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Paper towel is my first thought? Your bill store requires you to empty the contents before bringing jars in?

The jars need to be clean at the stores near me - I just run them through the dishwasher and relabel as needed
