It’s one of those bagless uprights. The filters are so hard to clean. Shaking it outside the dust flies everywhere and never seems to end! I tried combing between the folds and spraying with air compressor. Still takes forever and is not easy.
Anyone have a good method to clean them?
Oops I didn’t mean the air filter, just the regular filter.
I do the tap method but the dust never seems to stop coming out lol.
Wondering if anyone had some secret way of cleaning them.
cleaning it will depend on how thick the filter is. Mine is a thick paper, and I’ve noticed that after a while, it starts to peel. So I wouldn’t recommend rinsing it if it’s over a year old… but at that point it needs to be thrown out anyway.
I also don’t recommend carpet powders either because think of all the stuff you are adding aside from the common debri & dust.
If you aren’t using a carpet powder and your filter is in good condition, you should be getting almost everything out with the air compressor.
I just take mine outside and tap it on the door step till it looks pretty clean,it is very dusty but that is the quickest way for me!
I used to just rinse mine in the sink, (I had one with a thick fabric filter) and then I would just put it in front of an air vent to dry.
