That's what I do. Pour it in a bowl and suck it up with the vacuum line. That way it's a one person job.

The land rover dealership does seafoam by default when someone comes in with engine noises (ticking), it takes a few minutes and they can charge the earth for it. Only if it doesn't quiet down do they actually do repair work.
