Can you wash this? or this is a one time use filter?

This is a one time use filter. I wouldn't recommend washing it or getting one that is washable. I have 2 dogs that shed & a smoker in my house and these filters last quite a long time before they need to be replaced - Approx. 6 months.

The charcoal does get used up. So it is one time use to eliminate odor. If you don't care about odor and just want to use it as a prefilter, then you can wash it.

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

You can wash the filter, but it takes awhile to dry. I bought two HEPA filters for it, so there's a dry one to put in when I (occasionally) wash the other one.

The filter that comes with the unit is cleanable and reusable. Just clean the filter with a spray nozzle on a garden hose. Bon chance.

I have not attempted to wash the filter, but I use a fairly stiff brush to brush the dirt and hair from the filter after each use. This action seems to work well.

This unit comes with a permanent filter that can be washed and reused. There is also a light on the unit that tells when the filter needs to be cleaned.

Yes. The filter is washable and removable. The water will not stay as fresh if the filter is not used.

According to the owner's manual, the filter does not need to be replaced; it is reusable. The filter can be cleaned with warm water, but if it has a thick layer of lint/dust/whatever, I would suggest gently scraping that off with a toothbrush or something similar before cleaning it with water.

You can wash the filters. I wash them in warm water and let them dry for a couple days. Buy the hepa Filter.

I wouldn't try it. The filter is a metal mesh with a metal frame. It is cleaned by washing with soap and water. I would be afraid it would fall apart.

Don't know how long they can be washed and reused. Just bought mine. But for the price if they last four times you're way ahead of the Eureka throw away filters.

Nope. From the vacuum manual: "The filter CANNOT be washed as it will lose its dust trapping ability." It doesn't look like it would survive the washing.

Yes, I've taken the filter in the upright section out several times and washed it. It's a spongey foam material that takes a bit of time to dry fully, but it can be washed. Leave it out for a solid 24 hrs to dry after washing, though, because even the slightest moisture will gunk up the filter with dirt.

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.

Yes, it is my understanding that this filter is cleanable. I've had it less than 6 months, so haven't had to do it yet.

You clean it with a damp sponge. If that doesn't clean it completely, you can wash it with soapy water. You have to make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in. You never need a replacement filter.

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