Cleaned my drains out today

I cleaned the drains under the hood on my 300D today, and boy was it dirty. I've taken pictures of all the debris that fell out. Take a look. YUCK!

That looks like a success! Any particular method to "clean" them out? Any homemade tools? Thanks.

I took a coat hanger, straightened it out, and then bent it at one point to have a blunt end that could go down in the hole and pull out dirt, along with a garden hose at high pressure. I moved the coat hanger up, down, turned it around getting the dirt out, then, I turned the water on, and I continued to move the hanger while spraying water in there. I got the dirt out well.
