Get a nasal saline wash. It will be one of the most disgusting things you'll do, but it's worth it. I do it regularly as I'm prone to sinus infections due to a deviated septum to prevent getting them.
Basically, you'll have a large squeeze bottle with a huge opening at the tip. They give you salt packets, and you mix it with warm water and shake. Tilt your head so you're nearly parallel with the sink, and open your mouth. Put it in the first nostril and squeeze twice, then do the same for the second. The mucus/rinse will follow the roof of your mouth, and tends to minimize the taste.
Yes, its gross, but it cleans out just about everything up there, and if allergies are a problem it does an excellent job of moistening the membranes. My ENT specialist recommended it to me and I love it.
EDIT: If they're looking for a specific one, mine is of the NeilMeds brand, and the box came with a very lofty supply of saline packets.
