If you wish to be formal, I don't see how you can do anything other than having the maid clean it up while seated upon a saddle, firmly girded to the butler's back. If you're entertaining heads of state it would be appropriate to make sure she is wielding a leather riding crop as well (black if it is after Labor Day)
