In General, you want the nipple to face anyway but down. This is so that the mercury doesn't collect in the nipple.
Once the bulb is completely cooled down, a damp cloth would be fine to wipe the salt off the bulbs, but just make sure not to touch it with your hands and also let the bulbs dry off before restarting.
for stubborn salt, try a paper towel with vinegar on it. that should dissolve just about any crud you have. also good on reflectors.
