get some K&N cleaner - spray from the inside to the outside, so you are NOT forcing any dirt through the filter, if you see what I mean.. then re-oil with the lovely red oil

I found the best way was a bucket of hot water with lots of fairy liquid in it.
Just move it around lots in the bucket to get the water flowing through it to shift the dirt.
Afterwards make sure its dry and then apply some proper K&N filter oil to it which comes in a little spray can.
