can this duster be washed?

The manufacturer has a slogan that the dirtier it gets, the better it works. The manufacturer says that if you feel you must wash the duster for any reason, do so by hand and air-dry.

No, the fibers are treated with a wax like substance that attracts the dust and dirt. In fact, it gets better with use.

Not really. Washing would remove the dust treatment on the yarn. It has a dust wax on it so it will accumulate. Just shake it off as you go. It will last for years if you do not try to dust of dried on dirt. My first lasted 15 years or so.

I don't know why not, as long as you don't get it wet. Just remember, Mighty Tough Duster is MIGHTY TOUGH!

I do dust it with a damp cloth and it handles that well. I have not had to "spot clean" it per say.

Have not yet washed as it can be kept fairly dust and cobweb free with vacuum. However, when I do wash, I'll do it by hand, not because I feel it can't be machine washed, but because I believe the red fibers would adhere to anything else in the wash. Will use dryer on low.

The HEPA and pre-filter can be washed, but take quite awhile to dry - that's why I have a second set so I can swap out filters and keep the air purifier running. The other two filters only vacuum. You an get filters from the Rocky Mountain Air Purifier site.

It can be used as a prefilter only and can be cut to fit any purifier. No, it can't be washed or vacuumed.

Well, I would say no, you cannot wash it. It is of paper, and looks like a car air filter, but much smaller, naturally. My last filter lasted for years, and I would tap it on the side of a trash can, to get all the dust out. It was made of pretty darn strong paper. The new one, like the old design, has a plastic filter covering the paper filter, and it has pretty small holes, so only fine dust actually gathers of the (paper) filter. I think you can purchase new paper filters if you need to. Hope this helps.

I haven't washed it. If it needed cleaning I'd have it dry cleaned to prevent that sort of thing.

It is subjective. If you use it in an enclose area definately the grey sponge filter at the bottom will be very dirty. To clean the filter you just need to wash it with water and hang dry. Unless the filter is damage else you should be able to use the duster for a few years or until the sponge material wear and tear.

I have not washed it, but I noticed that there is a zipper to take the cover out, so I think the cover can be washed.

I have never tried. But washing doesn't seem necessary unless you are rolling around in dirt with it.

It can be vacuumed in situ . I vacuum it every week as I do not use it continuously whole day in my bedroom which has a carpet. However, washing may reduce the efficiency of the carbon filter. Hence, I would not recommend washing.

It's all one piece and I have only used it a few times. I do not think the duster can be replaced. I purchased it for use at my office when we were having trouble with small spiders making webs daily. To clean it I just went outside and shook it out.

I do not think you can wash them, but they can but you can shake them in a wast basket and remove the loose particles. It would be best to just replace after dusting. They are excellent in grappling dust you did not even was there. Highly recommend.

Yes. I know for sure the blue cloth piece is machine washable. Have not tried the dusting pad in the wash but I assume it would be.

no, it's not washable. it clogs with dust eventually if used in a very dusty enviroment, once washed it is useless and not breathable.

no, it is not washable, but I brush it out after each use, and it works well
