What do I do from here?

[idtapit]

So I made a holiday ale brew two days ago. Went to work came home this morning and this is what I found. so I guess I should have put a blow off tube. Now my question is can take off my airlock and clean it out and put it back on or should I leave it as is? As always be safe and have a good day thanks everyone.

Yes
Take it out.
Clean it.
Keep the top piece out.
Put a piece of 3/8" tubing over the hole and run other end into bottle of starsan.

Internal pressure will keep expelling gas, so no worries about leaving it out for a few minutes.
All good!

+1 should be fine.

Definitely clean it out. But sanitize it before re-installing it. If it's still blowing off like crazy,then a piece of 1/2" tube should fit over the center post of the airlock into a jug 1/3 full of water & a splash of Starsan.
