AA battery dead with debris

I have a one foot diameter clock with a AA battery. I noticed it had
stopped. I looked at the back, and found white power had seeped out of
battery. I don't think it's acidic, and I know the regular trash pick up
will take such batteries.

What's the best way to clean up the mess to put in a new AA?

I would think that the "white power" that he found should be
replaced back in the battery once the leak if fixed. :)

Or, maybe the clock tells the time 'til the next klan meeting?

Your link says to use baking soda. This link:

http://www.ehow.com/way_6059984_do-after-alkaline-battery-leak_.html

, however, says do NOT use baking soda because baking soda is alkaline
and won't neutralize another alkaline (base). I have seen this notion a
couple of times and it fits with what you learned in high school
chemistry. However, baking soda is "amphoteric" which means it acts like
both an acid and a base and will neutralize either
