Use electrical cleaner, like a contact cleaner. It wont leave a film is isn't corrosive to the MAF wires like brake cleaner or carb cleaner. You can also buy MAF cleaner.

I recommend carb cleaner with a q-tip be real gentle because you can break or damage the heating element

Do not use a Q tip, that isn't a good idea(unless you want to buy a new MAF). They make cleaner for it so you don't have to touch it.
