Default radiator fluid leaked on tranny

So I wrapped my heater in/out hoses and my upper radiator hose with stainless steel braided line.. I must not have tightened it down enough because I guess a few times I gunned it, it literally squirted almost all my radiator fluid all over my transmission..

I've since fixed the issue, but what is a good thing to get off the liquid from the tranny? It's dried and what not.. can I just put a hose in there and hose it off? or should I use a sponge and try and "mop" it up a little at a time? suggestions?

Happened a little to me, but I just used my hose when cleaning the engine bay. New alternators should have a proof cap inside of them thus allowing to clean more freely the engine bay area.

did you just straight up squirt it all off? or did you put it deep into the engine and spray just the transmission? the transmission has these little waffle looking little cups that the fluid got in and dried.. i can wipe it away with a sponge but that would take a very long time

Just put the hose in the area and if needed use a finger or thumb to increase pressure some. You should be ok with hosing off whatever got wet. Just watch out for where wires connect.
