Default Washing a cone filter

I know the recomended ways. But could you just throw it in the dish washer? It's not oiled

Well the K&N kit comes with a cleaner, so you could just use the cleaner...

Or just use brake cleaner, it will do the job. It's what I used to clean the filters for my motocross bikes with...

Some people say use gasoline, but I never tried that.
