compressed air is the best way to get the crud out of the spark plug recess so it doesn't fall into the combustion chamber when you remove the plug.
On the second issue, did it run like this before or after you swapped the plugs, and did you or are you replacing the plug wires too (highly recommended, especially if the wires have the cylinder numbers on them as this would indicate they are the original wires).
