How To Clean Your Washable HEPA Filter

So you’ve recently purchased a new Electrolux vacuum cleaner and it’s time to change the filter. You’re used to having to buy a new HEPA filter for your vacuum cleaner every six months or so but this vacuum cleaner comes with a washable filter. Sounds great right? But how on earth do you clean this filthy thing?

The folks at eVacuumStore have come up with a solution in this 4-Step process for cleaning your Washable HEPA Filter.

Step  1:

Locate the filter door on your vacuum cleaner. On most canister models, this will be at the back of the canister, on the top of the vacuum. On the upright models it will be on the front of the vacuum under the dust cup, just above the base of the vacuum.

Step 2:

Remove your HEPA Filter, and wipe away any heavy dust or debris over a trash container. Shake it out, slapping it against your palm or wrist to release any built up dust or dirt.

Step 3:

Rinse your washable HEPA filter under warm water in the sink. Do not use any soap or cleaning products.

Step 4:

Allow your HEPA Filter to air dry overnight and replace it into the HEPA Filter compartment in your vacuum cleaner.

Washable HEPA Filters should be routinely washed every month and replaced every 2-3 years as needed.
