As mentioned above, I got the entire sealing surface clean by using a stiff artists brush and acetone.
There is a ridge of surface crud on the head just outside the sealing area. I will try and scrape that off and then clean so that the gasket does not get contaminated during installation. Hoping to get to it today. Only 12C at present so need for it to warm up a bit before completing and double checking valve adjustment.

I just adjusted the valves for a forum member 2 weeks ago and used my fingers and paper towels, wiped the entire head VC seal areas clean. If my finger tips can reach it , 1/2 a razor bladed hafted to a wooden rod longer than my fingers will definitely work. The 18" broom stick was an example for scraping windows. I do not recommend making it that long for what you need to do. Make it so it fits the job! Maybe a broom stick is too large in diameter. Try a branch from a tree around 1/2" diameter.
