MAF cleaning on 02 maxima?

Is it safe to clean the maf on 02 maxima se What kind of MAF cleaner do i need? The car has 72k and i never cleaned the maf all i had it done is throttle body cleaning. Maf sensor for 02 cost triple more than 00-01 acording to that i dont wanna end up damaging it, thats why i need to know if anyone has ever cleaned the maf on 02 maxima and which spray cleaner to use? It could be a repost but i couldnt find an answer. Thanks.

amen to that...and im not sure if autozone carries it,.. but i know NAPA does.. and i think pep boys too.. (CRC MAF cleaner) google it..

i cleaned my maf on my 2000 max w/ CRC.. and it worked but then it kinda started going soon after.. so im a little terrified to touch the one on my 2k2 max.. i actually had my intake all apart yesterday and choose not to clean it even though i have some leftover spray.. so if u do it i would appreciate if you post back if u noticed anything or it it hurt anything ect ect.. g/l

cleaning that TB should be simply spraying it! Do not force the flap to move....

I think you 02+ guys should stop being pansy and clean your TB more often. :
