Default Quick question re: filter cleaner

I just went to clean my K&N filter and realized I am out of filter cleaner. Is there a household product that will do this?

After I let the spray on stuff soak in, I run the filter (from the reverse side) through hot water. Maybe you could just do that, or maybe you could run down to Pep Boys or O'reillys for a K&N recharge kit.
