Best way to clean K&N

Hey, what's the best way to clean out a regular K&N air filter? It's not necessary to buy that recharge kit or whatever every time is it?

its an motorcycle/atv site, but it says it recharges any k&n. But they have a $15 dollar minumum, sure you could find it elsewhere.

I got a recharge kit from autozone today and I just clean a while ago. Now I have to wait for it to dry first. What's the proper way to oil the filter? Should I oil the side where the air will go thru or oil both side?
