Tips on clearing out lots and lots of spiderwebs?

I’m helping my parents clean out their basement, and I’m now working in the crawlspace which is riddled with spiderwbs. There’s lots of un-used space I’d like to use, but that space is spiderweb city. I thought about using a vacuum cleaner but – 1. it’s too bulky to be moving around in that confined space and 2. not sure it would even be effective at removing the webs. Any advice?
