How to clean dried "goobers" from the hair around the eyes?

[Sandy]

Toby is black, so these don't show up as much as they could, but what is the best way to get these dried, for lack of a better word, goobers out of the hair around his eyes? I try to wipe his eyes with a kleenex if I see something, but more often than not they are dried. I've tried a warm wash cloth, but still end up pulling them out with my finger nails. Is there a better way? I just want my boy to be pretty. :)

I just use my finger to pull them off and yep... Abel likes to eat them haha.
