how to clean a MAF sensor??

I have heard that with K&N air filters that Maf sensors can get gummed up with oil and it isa good Idea to clean it once in a while, what is the proper way to do this with out damaging anything?

I bought a can of electronic parts cleaner is it safe to use??

Thanks!

I purchased a can of electronic cleaner from Radio Shack plus a can of air duster and a pair of Q tips.

Be carefull with the pressure from the cans, so spray from 5 or 6 inchs away the tiny wires....first the cleaner...then the air duster... Then clean them CAREFULLY with the QTips and voilą!!!.. Don't forget to clean the wider wires too.

Take care

For the love of God, be very careful cleaning the wires!! They bend quite easily.
