Here's another vote for Steve's method - I've used it for many
years. Wear a full face shield over safety glasses, put some
painter's tape over anything you don't want solder on. The blast of
air should coincide with the removal of the soldering iron heat.
Clean off solder spray with a pencil eraser or plastic tool - it's
quite thin.

If the sucker or the wick
isn't quite the ticket, another option is a burst of
compressed air. Heat, melt solder, and then blow with
compressed (or canned air). Makes a mess nearby but cleans
the target.
