How to change dyson filter

Dyson Filters and HEPA Filters

Dyson Filters are 99.97% effective in removing all dust, dirt and allergens from your home. When using a bagless vacuum cleaner like the machine offered by Dyson, it is crucial that you replace this part every 6 months to maintain ideal performance.

We recommend replacing your air purifier filter every 12 months.

No the filters can be cleaned and reused. When you clean them let them sit in the sun for 24 hours before reinstalling them. Just use hot water.

Wash filters in cold water only

(don’t use detergent or wash in a dishwasher or washing machine). Rinsing under the water supply then gently squeezing the water out of the filter. Repeat until the water runs clear.

We recommend replacing your filter every 12 months. That’s because over time, filters can get clogged with pollutants, and even let unpleasant odours back into the room.

Vanilla scent keeps your Dyson smelling fresh. Place two drops of vanilla extract on a cotton ball. Drop the cotton ball into the receptacle before securing it to the vacuum to prevent odor from building up. Vanilla extract is an effective natural odor absorber.

I sprinkle baking soda on the floor, vacuum it up, let it sit, then empty. I do this every now and again, clean the filter and empty after each use. Works for our multi dog house.

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water. It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Damp or musty smell

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet. Only the filter can be washed, the bin can be cleaned with a damp cloth only, and both must be completely dry before being refitted to the machine.

With foul-smelling vacuum cleaners, stinky bags are often the culprit. If you have a bagless model, empty the canister and clean the filters in soapy water. Allow the filters to dry completely before you reassemble the machine. If you have pets, pet hair might be clogging the intake valves and causing a bad smell.

Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin. Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher. Do not immerse the whole cyclone unit in water or pour water into the cyclones. Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

Do not submerge the cyclone in water or run water through the cyclones. To wash, simply saturate under cold water and leave to dry overnight before re-insertion. The same routine should be done for the Dyson exhaust filter.
