Depending on conditions I have cleaned paper air filters multiple times, by cleaned I mean I remove the air filter and used an airline to remove the dust, driving through sand and dust will clog a filter quickly and regular cleaning is important.
*when cleaning an air filter with an airline make sure you blow the dirt out of the filter and not into it  90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Or you could put a brand new one in?
Why bother cleaning it if you have already removed it? Seems a bit backwards to me  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Shouldn't be cleaned, it should be replaced.
Relatively cheap, and removing and refitting the same filter give a higher likelihood of contamination. Sure, you can brush it off a little on the inlet side carefully. But that is purely a regular maintenance thing, they should IMHO be changed no later than every other year. I sometimes change it every year depending on condition. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |
