Just unbolt it and clean it with any basic cleaning solvent. Alcohol, acetone, kersosene, lighter fluid, etc. Dry it off and put it back.

Thanks, wasn’t sure if brake cleaner would work or if it would react with the trans fluid and degrade it.

Don’t clean it in place. Brake clean is fine as it evaporates very quickly. There’s no chance of fluid contamination.
The trans filter is simply a fine metal screen.
