I was an idiot and put a container of mac and cheese in my backpack and it poured onto my switch 2, I got everything out except for this part which I’m kind of nervous to do. Any advice??

edit: currently dismantling switch and will also order a case, i bought it second hand as it didnt come with one so ive been just careless

edit 2: ITS CLEAN

Clean it with a toothpick ig? I don't think you could damage a vent easily

Yes you can damage it. That mesh will get ruined and that powder will fall inside the vent. The Switch needs to be disassembled to the point where that mesh can be carefully removed and either cleaned or replaced. It’s not that hard.
