Yer welcome.

Great Idea.
I've been doing that with a finishing nail for years.
I also make sure I clean the recess, usually with a paper towel before
I put the lid on.
Another tip:
If your wife is anything like mine, buy her a set of brushes and hide
yours.
When I'm done cleaning mine you can eat with them.
A day after she cleans her's, you could hit a home run with one.
It's the same in our house, only the genders are reversed.
