Default spilled drink in cup holder; how to clean up

Hi Everyone, I accidentally knocked over my cup of coffee and most of the drink ended up in the cup holder. I managed to sop up most of the liquid with paper towel but I am fairly certain some got in the crevices as well. Is there a way to thoroughly clean the cup holder? Thank you all.

A good suction vacuum?

the bottom rubber plate comes right out, and there aren't really many crevices underneath. easy with just a sponge or wet cloth.

Thank you both for the reply. Does the rubber mat come out easily? I have not taken a closer look.

comes out very easily. If you look at the circumference of the rubber mat you should see a small little tab you can pull on to help lift it up.
you can also try a q-tip with some alcohol to keep up any sticky/sticking buttons. id suggest testing the alcohol on a small spot first - i used alcohol without issue but dont want to be responsible incase it messes something up on your car.

i needed to do this when a splash of coffee was making the "MENU" button stick when i pushed on it.
