Cleaning under the seat area

Has anyone got any good tips for cleaning the area under the seat and behind the side covers. This area is loaded with wiring, relays fuses and pretty tight. Is there anything other than a damp rag to use here to speed up the job and get all the nook and crannies without damaging all the electrical connections?

I just use a damp rag myself, too risky to wash. Don't go there much anyway and cant see it till I do.

I wash with the same mitt that I wash the rest of the bike, but only do it about twice a year....

I take my seat off when I wash my bike and it gets soap and water like the rest of the bike. Then I blow dry with a leaf blower. Never had any problem.
