Title: Cleaning Air filter element
Post by: Saint Steve on July 25, 2010, 10:08:01 pm

I have a rather dirty looking Green Cotton Performance air filter that needs cleaning so it can be re-installed.

Whats the Best product to use to clean it?

TIA  :happy2:

If it is actually a cotton filter then immerse it in some warm soapy water and if necessary use very light air pressure to remove any lodged debris. Let it dry naturally..   :smiley:

I use Vanish Oxy clean crystal thingys.

Very hot water and a sprinkle of those. Leave to dry wrapped in paper towel then re oil and leave to dry in paper towel.  :wink:
