Default BMC air filter - cleaning possibility

Hi guys,

I am not sure if the OEM BMC can be cleaned / reused.
Is this the case or not ?

Cheers

You can blow the bits out with an LP air supply and then gently wash it in warm soapy water iirc.

bang it on the ground to shake off excess debris and then use a vacuum cleaner to suck the rest out.

I was thinking about something more advanced.
Special soap and oil, same way you clean K&N filters.
