pretty sure he means a cone filter

id imagine just rinse it out using warm water from the clean side to the dirty side (so stick the faucet in the cone filter)

thats how you do it with the oiled filters, but you spray on a cleaner on the outside first...

ohhh ok haha my mistake. Well I've got another in case. I'll try vacuuming the filter off and wiping it down. If it doesnt get clean i'll just swap it.
