Are they oiled or dry?

Depending on how dirty you would normally just blow them clean.

Each manufacturer should have guidelines on how to clean (if possible) their stuff.. So before doing anything more then blowing them clean I would check with them.

Possibly rinse with water from the inside and let air dry. Using compressed air may ruin the integrity of the mesh if too much pressure.

Unless I’m out to lunch (soup and sandwich today )
