Le Menagier suggests breadcrumbs to get spices out of the mortar, and 
I've found it works well.

However, I now have a Kitchenaid spice/coffee grinder whose grinding 
chamber comes off the base and can be washed. This is a very good thing, 
even though using it for high authenticity activity would be bad. :)
