How are you cleaning? Garden hose, pressure wash, steam cleaner, etc.?

I normally use a low-pressure wash and a can of Gunk. I take the filter off
entirely and cover the intake pipe with a plastic bag secured by a rubber
band. Because my tube is angled down, anything that does get by will drain
out. But that's about it. Haven't had any trouble.
