That's the point of the filter. It will get dirty over time. If you want to extend the time between changes you may want to get a replacement filter that includes the charcoal pre-filter as it will help pick up some of the larger debris and can be hand washed.

As one comment said, you can use the vacuum for the back filter and the front one you can rinse out. Thing is, when a filter gets really dirty, especially the HEPA like one, I like to put a replacement one in, even though supposedly they say its reusable yadda yadda yadda . . .

There is a filter in the back...use your vacuum to clean it off. There is a filter in the front...take it out and rinse it...let it dry and return it.. That easy.

I clean my Filter every Week, just to keep it clean. I soak it in Vinegar and water 50/50 for about 10 hours.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

Get some Caffezia and let the filter and column soak for a couple of hours.You can't see inside but everything will be clean & shiny.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

The filter is an integrated part, that is a permanent piece.Just pull up and out, then rinse let dry and re-insert

I don't know how to clean it. I think we need to order new filters. I love mine too and will have to go to the web site to see about ordering new filters.

The pre-filter foam can be cleaned. The paper main filter element must be replaced.

the filters are reusable plates that slide in the back. you just rinse them off.

I'm not aware of the recommended method of cleaning according to the manufacturer. However, I clean mine every two days. I hold them with tweezers under very hot water for about 30 seconds, being sure that each part of the filter device is being cleansed. I have not had any bacterial issues since doing this.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

I've had this item for several years. About once a month I wash the filter with dishwashing detergent & warm water. It's still like brand new.

I most often remove the cover and remove the filter assembly. I use the hose and spray nozzle to clean the filter. You must spray between the grids and make sure you get everything removed at the bottom where it settles. I have found lying the filter on its side and rolling it allows me to get between the grids and dislodge debris from the bottom. On occasion I will separate all the grids for a thorough cleaning.

You probably need to clean the filter every week until it seems cleaner. It is never completely cleaned but you can see through the water. Hope that helps.

You use the green scrubby part of a dish sponge to scrub the outside of the filter. Mine clogged in 24 hours and cleaning didn't help. They sent replacements but
