There's really nothing to clean on a VAF. The MAFs need cleaned because the wires get hot and cook on a layer of dust, which affects the sensitivity. A VAF is just a flap which moves with airflow, so any dust on it wouldn't have the same effect.

VAF is a potentiometer so no need to clean any electricals like a MAF.
