You wil lhave to play around and build a REGEX expression that works for you. But here's the skeleton...

static void Main(string[] args)
{

        StringBuilder txt = new StringBuilder();
        txt.Append("Hello \n\n\r\t\t");
        txt.Append( Convert.ToChar(8232));

        System.Console.WriteLine("Original: <" + txt.ToString() + ">");

        System.Console.WriteLine("Cleaned: <" + CleanInput(txt.ToString()) + ">");

        System.Console.Read();

    }

    static string CleanInput(string strIn)
    {
        // Replace invalid characters with empty strings.
        return Regex.Replace(strIn, @"[^\w\.@-]", ""); 
    }
