What is the most effective way to remove crusty mucous from an infants nose?

Question by cjc: What is the most effective way to remove crusty mucous from an infants nose?
our baby is waking up with her little nose plugged up with dry boogers and the bulb aspirator is not doing the job, my wife is removing them with a very thin q tip, I told her its not recommeded, but its the only way. We are using the saline infant drops but they only help some, not in the mornings though since the mucous has build up from the previous night.

I came across this battery operted
