Covered many times. Search for a thread called "how to properly clean your AFM with carby cleaner"

Otherwise, take it out, blast it with CC or contact cleaner.

Yeah, you pretty much just want to clean it without damaging it. So no chemicals or wire brushes or anything..

A good blast of carby cleaner should clean up the mesh on the AFM and the wire in the middle without damaging anything.

Popular move is to remove the intake side of the mesh... there should be a mesh on both sides, so we're talking about the one closest to the intake manifold or plenum.
