Electronic spray cleaner or careful application with some alcohol and a q-tip.

My local Pep Boys Auto Center is selling MAF cleaner in a spray can.

DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER!!!!! The MAF is coated and carb cleaner is to harsh! CNC makes MAF cleaner, or electronic cleaner

They've actually got MAF cleaner now. I purchased mine from Advance Auto (don't believe that's nationwide yet) and I think Autozone also carries it. It worked great for me!!!
