Default MAF cleaner

hey guys what do i use to clean my Mass Air Flow sensor?
can you just use carb cleaner?

do you just spray it then let it dry or is there something else you have to do?

thanks

They make MAF cleaner, either that or eletromotive or Throttle Body cleaner.

I can't remember how much it was. I assume about as much as good TB cleaner would be. Yes it works. I spray it out and by the time I put it all back together its dry and ready to go. DamnYankee is right, any MAF cleaner will work.
