You can buy a K&N cleaning kit for about 10bucks from halfords. It consists of two bottles, a cleaning spray and an oil.
By rinsing it, you'll remove the dirt etc, but you'll likely damage the filter itself. Better buying the kit bud.

yes, i forgot to menyion that. Part of the process is rinsing it with water, but thats after the cleaning fluid has been dribbled through it. And its "rinsed" NOT power washed as this will damage the filter. Just water itself wont remove all the dirt n grit i dont think.
