Before cleaning, identify your exact vacuum and filter. This guide follows Dyson's V11 click-in/LCD-screen support instructions for its washable filter. Other V11 variants and other vacuums may differ; their own manuals take priority. Dyson recommends washing around monthly or when prompted.

1. Switch the vacuum off and disconnect its charger. Keep wet hands away from electrical contacts. Confirm in the manual that the filter on your exact V11 variant is washable.
2. Twist the filter unit counterclockwise and pull it off gently. Tap it lightly over a bin to dislodge loose dust. Work in a ventilated area if you are sensitive to dust.
3. Rinse the pleated portion under cold running tap water. For this V11 filter, Dyson says not to use detergent, bleach, a dishwasher or a washing machine.
4. Rinse the foam portion inside and out with cold water, squeezing gently to release dirt. Repeat until the water runs clear; rinse the outside and shake off excess water.
5. Air-dry in a well-ventilated place for at least 24 hours, longer if needed. Feel for remaining moisture. Do not use a dryer, microwave, direct flame or forced heat.
6. Only once fully dry, reinsert and twist the filter clockwise until secured. If it remains damp or is damaged, do not operate the vacuum; follow Dyson's replacement or service advice.
