Default Cleanup after tapping AL

Hello all,

I just finished tapping holes in my latest "production run" of five
plates (stop laughingg). What is the most effective way to clear the
slurry of oil (which I have been using as a cutting fluid[*]) and
Aluminum chips that is dripping from the holes?
[*] haven't broken any taps in a long time, and the threads seem to work.

Thanks!

Bill
