.
At work, we use glass cleaner (windex works best) and use an air hose to blow it dry. Make sure there is no moisture on the diode, because it can blow the diode up. Seen it happen to a buddy of mine. I use the glass cleaner and a q-tip, then use air to get it dry. You will notice a diff on most cars depending on how dirty it is.
have a good one.

Best idea is to use the specialized CRC MAF Cleaner as mentioned above. You just spray the living snot out of the wires, inside of MAF. No need for q-tips at all (saves from possible damage due to contact). Just spray on and it will evaporate/dry fully on it's own and will not leave a film. I use it once/yr on my T/A - never noticed any difference in how the car runs - but it can't hurt...

Below is directly off can. It may or may not be the same as electronic parts cleaner - but why not just buy the stuff that states that it is solely for the purpose of cleaning MAF's? Priceis the same...
