Default Tips for cleaning MAF?

There isn't a CEL, but I've come to the decision the MAF sensor could do with a clean - notably a lumpy idle when hot.

For example, I stopped earlier to pop in to pick something up at the shops, only parked for 5 or so minutes. Restarted the car and it began to idle lumpy, but all stopped as I began to pull away, was fine from then on.

It's a '02 Bugeye, if that helps.

I'm just after some tips from a trusted forum for giving it a clean up, as I don't fancy a £300 replacement for messing it up!

Cheers,

EDIT TO ADD - I've read through the performance filter thread, I'm running a K&N panel filter - I wonder if there's been some oil contamination from it being over-oiled? I'll be servicing my car soon, so opting for a Cosworth panel filter instead, just in case.
