How often should you clean the HEPA filter?

Cleaning the HEPA filter regularly is essential for maintaining strong suction power and healthy indoor air quality.

Over time, dust and fine particles accumulate inside the filter, reducing airflow and vacuum performance. In homes with pets, filters may become clogged more quickly.

For normal household use, cleaning the HEPA filter once every two to four weeks is recommended. If you vacuum frequently or have pets, weekly cleaning may be necessary.

Most washable HEPA filters can be rinsed gently with clean water. Allow the filter to dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling it into the vacuum cleaner.

Replacing the filter every three to six months can help maintain optimal cleaning efficiency and improve the lifespan of the vacuum.
