I don't know about cleaning it... but... YES...
The new AEM filter element is better then the K&N.
INJEN's filter is better then K&N too. I'd speculate thats how Injen was kickin AEM's butt on some dynos. But, AEM fired back... and their new filter definately is better then the ol' K&N.

Well, to get back on topic after all the thread hijacking... 
K&N recommends cleaning at 30k mile intervals, if I remember correctly.
They also sell a filter cleaning and recharge kit.
You spray the cleaner on the filter, spray the filter with water, then soak it in a bath of cleaner and water for 30 mins or so. Let air dry, then spray a coat of silicone JUST ENOUGH TO COAT THE ELEMENT. DO NOT OVER-SPRAY.
Also, when in doubt check the K&N recharge instructions in the kit.
