Turtle Or tortoise?
I know Tortoise eat thier poop. its normal.
Make sure he is getting enough to eat.
as for cleaning.. soak him.. it should rinse off. but not sure Id scrub it unless you use a cloth once its sofe from soaking...

Don't sweat it. It is common but disgusting. Try to clean it out but it really is not a big deal.
