you can get a K&N or Pipercross filter recharge/cleaner kit from your local halfrords. is about £20, has the proper cleaning stuff and oils to do it properly.

Agree with chrex mate, not only does it clean it, but leaves a film of lubrication on there, so it stops all the small particals of poo getting in the engine.
