Am I right in thinking this is either a small nano tank or a newly set up system? I can't think of any other scenario where snail waste would be in amounts where it is overly noticeable. In a well establishd tank that sort of waste gets consumed by detrivores so generally is not a concern. If your system is newly set up then chances are your end consumers haven't built up a large enough population to deal with it yet.

That being said if it is currently infinging on your enjoyment of your system then by all means suck it out.
