Hi Nick,
You can carefully remove most of the compound and swarf with a plastic scraper or cloth but there will always be some left embedded deep into the leather fibers. It's impossible to remove all of it. This is why it's always recommended to use a specific strop for each grit and type of compound you want to use - don't try clean a strop and use another grit compound on it. If you're using the same compound and just want to resurface the strop, then simply remove as much of the old compound and swarf as you can and reapply another fresh layer of compound.
