Cleaning bottom of sump ideas

Put us down for the shop vac, it works every time.

I don't drain my sump when I use the shop-vac either. No water ever gets to the motor. They have a level shutoff when they get too full they stop sucking. I have been using my cheap walmart shop-vac for years and have never rinsed it with fresh water and it still works great.
