Cleaning your aem intake

Quick question. Does it matter what you use to clean it? I have some k&n filter cleaner and wanted to know if i could use that or would I have to buy something that's specific to aem. Of course I know not to use the oil but will the cleaning spray screw up my filter.

I've also used the bottles listed by Phantom RX, which involves agitating the filter in a bucket of water.
It appears that AEM partnered with K&N for their filter cleaner, so you may not be able to get the "AEM" brand anymore.

I guess I'll put an order in. As of now I'll just rinse it out due to how much dust it has and considering the rain. Dust+water spray= I'm guessing not good. All I was wondering if K&Ns stuff would be basically the same cleaning solution.
