Can you wash these filters in water?

no paper filter will fall apart, only generic filter listed as washable can be cleaner and reused, only thing that can clean these filter is to use another vacuum cleaner to clean them off

I have washed them in water. They seem to work afterwards. I would reccomend allowing them to dry completely before you use them after a wash. What works better and faster then washing them is to take them outside and spray them with a can of compressed air you use on electronics to remove the dust. This works better and they can be used right after. Note that should you choose to was them you run the risk of mold or mildew within the filter if they do not dry properly.

Yes, it says on the package to wash and dry thoroughly. I would definitely clean the trapped dirt first because it really makes a mess once its wet.

Yes! They wash up perfect! I just rinse in hot water until all the dirt is gone and then let dry for a couple of days. I wash filters several times before I have to change them out - it makes them last longer and the vacuum runs better because of it, too.

No you don't. After I use the product I put the filters back in and then after 24 hours I rinse the filters. That seems to work just fine.

I've had the same filter for years. I clean it with an old toothbrush and knocking it against something (outside). I didn't know I could wash it, till I came here to see about a new filter and saw all the comments about washing them.

The Hepa filters are able to be rinsed out and dried. Just remember, not to submerge your dust bin into water as there are sensitive electronic sensors in there. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean that unit. last make sure filters are dry before reassembly.

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.

Yes. We wash them with soap and water. We have been very pleased with this product.

What I've done was made sure that I allowed the filters to completely dry out once a week. And if I remembered made sure to wash the filters. I washed in the dishwasher and worked fine. I may start to wash more by hand with vinegar as that may allow the filters to last longer...in my opinion. I hope this helps.

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

I haven't tried, but I have washed them with Oxyclean and Tide. They come out fine.

I would say yes BUT you should wash them out and only use them maybe 1 or 2 time more and then just buy filters. Try one out and see.

The instructions say to not wash the filters. A 24-48 hours of running mine the smell was gone

I don't think I would try washing them, we just changed our filter for the first time, it lasted 6 months. We love it I would recommend this air purifier to anyone. If I had to change it every 2 months i would agree with you about cost. The purifier lets you know when it needs to be changed.

No, they are paper filters and cannot be cleaned-must be disposed of when they get filthy

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.
