I use a garbage can to clean mine. Step 1, Remove filter. Step 2, Throw in garbage can.
Thats it! 2 easy steps and its a one time service

Then spend $25 on a new one? They are re-useable for free fyi. Just cleanse a little bit in soapy watere, rinse, air dry, and viola!

If I wasnt clear, I was trying to say I dont run that filter at all. If you ride powder that thing will ice up bad. The screen is the only thing I have ran since my 04 warrior. Thats about 12,000 miles on the rx-1/apex engine combo.
The better option is to remove the air box and install an intercooler in its place
