What happens if you wash a HEPA filter?

If your HEPA filter is not specifically labelled as washable or "permanent," then the answer is no. You can rinse the filter in water, tap excess dust off of it or remove some dust with a vacuum, but this can definitely damage the mesh of fibers that allows the filter to remove particles from the air.

How do I know if my HEPA filter is dirty?

You can tell if an air purifier is working well if you see debris, hair or dust in the filter, but not enough to completely clog it up. If it's too dirty, chances are it needs replaced. Keep in mind that this only works for HEPA purifiers, as carbon filters won't show any outward signs of aging.

Do all Dysons have HEPA filters?

While some machines use one HEPA filter, most Dyson vacuums use two filters; the pre-motor filter and the post-motor filter. Pre-motor filtration removes particles before they enter the motor of your sweeper which helps to keep the motor running at its top performance.

Are HEPA filters worth it?

Carelessly attacking carpets can result in more dust being sent into the air than is collected by the vacuum cleaner. For a cleaner home, they're worth the added expense. And if you have acute allergies, asthma, COPD or other respiratory conditions, HEPA filters are an important component of a healthier home.
