How to clean R2C air filters?

I searched the forum and couldn't find a DIY. Can someone help me out with how to clean these air filters myself?

pop em off, and use some compressed air and shoot from the inside out.

if they are really dirty, soak it in a mild detergent (oxy clean) and then thoroughly dry it before putting it back on.

Didn't have much luck with the air compressor, a leaf blower however works great for blowing out and if washing getting a majority of the water off too. You want to stick it in the inside and blow out. I also found a hair dryer to help speed up the drying process since the media can hold water and appear dry if you just leave it for a day.

I use a shop vac on the outside of the filters to get the dust and particulate out. As I recall, the R2C instructions say that you can use soap and water if they are really dirty, but NOT to use a hot dryer on them because it will shrink the filter material. Again, you can use a shop vac to suck off the excess water then let em dry overnight.
