Default Cleaning aftermarket air filter

Hey guys, i got an AFE Pro dry filter, After a few months of having an exhaust leak that i finally took care of, my filter is black and i can't seem to get it clean with soap and water, wanted to know if you all knew anything i could use to clean it that wouldn't hurt the filter! Thanks!

Simple green - soak it and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.

Hose from the clean side out until the water runs clear.
