Use a Q-Tip soaked with rubbing alchohol. Glide along the thin wires but be very gentle not to break them, after that be sure you got all the cotton from the swab off the elements, be careful they are fragile. Anyone with a oil soaked type air filter should do this regularly for optimum performance.
The oils that are used to catch the dirt in the filter make their way through the maf and can cause mis-readings.
