Is it easy to clean these replacement filters?

Yes, they are very easy to clean. Just brush off as directed in package insert. Next time I'm going to order the 7" ones though. The 9" ones are too big for my filter. The extra 2" just sit there in the air inside the filter, not filtering anything. Hope this helps.

Yes, we have found these easy to clean. Just scrub with a clean toothbrush. Depending on water quality and use they last last for many years.

Absolutely! Get a soft toothbrush and slowly wipe the surface down.Whatever you do don't try to wipe the surface with your bare hands ,they will cut your hands like little razors!

Yes, every 2 weeks I take out the filter elements and under slowly running water I give each filter a gentle light brush down with a nylon mesh/wool type pot cleaner to remove the build up of minerals etc.

Yes it is easy to clean, but be careful around the inside base when you are changing the filter, as ours snapped off after we had it for about 6 months. KJ

I don't know, but they come out and wash easily. I see that replacement filters are available in the UK, but so far not here.

I've washed these filters many times and never had a problem. Is there a hole in it maybe?

Yes they are. Check the instructions for the unit. They need to be replaced every 6 months. In between them is the membrane filter (more expensive ) which should be replaced every year.

I haven't tried washing the filter yet, but I went on the companies website & this is the information the gave: WASHING YOUR FILTER Many of the filters that Crucial Vacuum manufactures are washable and reusable. Washing your filter is an important part of vacuum cleaner maintenance. If your filter is not clean, your vacuum will have a hard time absorbing and eliminating dirt. Improper cleaning of the filter reduces the suction capability of the vacuum over time. STEP 1: You should ideally clean your filter after every 3-4 uses. Before cleaning your filter you should refer to the vacuums manual. STEP 2: When removing dust from the filter, chances are it will spread around the air, it is best to take the filter outside. Tap the filter gently on the side of the garbage so that most of the dust falls out. STEP 3: If your filter is NOT washable, it will be adversely affected if you wash it. Rinse the outside surface of filter with cold-luke warm running water (do not use soap). STEP 4: If you washed the filter, air-dry 24-48 hours before you replace it in the vacuum. Once the filter is clean and dry, you can put it back into the vacuum. IMPORTANT: Do not brush your filter. Do not clean you filter with abrasive materials. Do not scrub your filter between the pleats. *Even with regular cleaning, most vacuum filters have a specific lifespan and must be replaced regularly. Replace your Crucial Vacuum filter every 3-6 months. Hope that's helpful.

The replacement filters are tied on. With regular cleaning I've been using the same cloth filter for three months and going strong.

Reg cleaning is all that is needed. Does not need replacement if you buy stainless steel filter

Hi Lori, It's very easy to clean as long as you have a hose nearby. Just spray the entire unit the debris container comes out easily as do the filters.

Yes....and they last a good while. follow the instructions for cleaning them. But, if you use your ShopVac to clean up solvents or oily dirt or such, don't reuse that filter.

Yes, they are. I hand wash mine with Dawn Dish Detergent and then let them dry in the sun. It works great and I have had no problem with the vacuum after washing the filters. Just make sure they are completely dry.

I wouldn't try cleaning the filters on mine..... they get yucky, not just dirty. I always replace mine from filtersamerica.com

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

Depends on how dusty the conditions are.It's best to clean them after each use.Order washable filters from Amazon and be done with it.

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.

Yes extremely easy, you take the cover off and you pull the filter out by the the plastic tab on top of the filter. It takes less than a second.
