I have used a shop vac with a smaller hose that fits between the grill. Blow inward to loosen stuff, vacuum to get it out. Then blow in again and vacuum again. Gets a lot out. I am sure there is still some stuff between and only taking off the front bumper will give access but I wouldn't forgo the above process for in between maintenance. Water under pressure would probably help loosen dried in junk but I have yet to try that method.
