Dirt got in injector holes

Title says it all really. I've got some crud from around the engine/the under bonnet pad as it's breaking off into the injector holes. Is it alright to leave it there or do I need to get it all out? Also, when replacing them, does the surface the injectors rest on need to be completely clean?

Your diesel injector holes will need fully cleaning for the injectors to seat properly . And bits from the bonnet insulation will need removing also .Use a vacuum cleaner ans scale down the tube on the end to get in small places . Videos on youtube to help you do this job .

Right, well at least I've learned. I take it the stuff that actually fell down the hole will be incinerated the moment the car fires? Some nutters on the web are talking about removing the cylinder head to make sure it's clean as a whistle. I take it that's if you spill rocks in there or something?

Removing the cylinder head would be pointless because there are pre-chambers that would catch it all anyway. Assuming the pre-chambers are still installed just vacuum out the pre-chambers with a bit of skinny hose taped to your vacuum cleaner hose and don't forget to replace the injector sealing washers when you reinstall them.
