If there is a significant amount of color on the mold (e.g. from airbrushing the whole mold), I let it partially set then scrape it and add it back to the bottle - cuz that stuff is not cheap.   If it's just a little bit (like from splatters and the like), I lay out a sheet of parchment paper and, while the color is still wet, invert the mold and rub it across the parchment paper to clean it.   

I rub the molds across paper towel - if it has set I warm the paper towel either with a heat gun or by laying the paper towels on a warmer like this (only cheap and bought from a thrift store). I don't hit the mold with a heat gun as it wrecks the finish inside the mold.
