Cleaning the air filter is popular in south american countries. I have read a SAE paper testing simple methods to clean air filters. The most effective simple way to do it is tapping the filter a couple times on a flat surface so the dirt fall off, then blow air through the filter from the inside out with an air compressor. You have to be careful not to contaminate the clean side though.
