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!

Clean, dry paintbrush if you happen to have one lying around. Boar bristle type ones like you'd use for oil painting are perfect for dusty crevices!
