Dyson says washable vacuum filters can be rinsed without detergent and must air-dry for at least 24 hours until completely dry before refitting; follow your model's guide.

Dust accumulation can reduce vacuum performance. Dyson suggests checking some washable cordless filters about monthly, but other models and nonwashable components differ. Do not immerse the powered body or electronics.

0 / 6 done

Identify the exact model and confirm that this specific filter is washable; do not rinse any filter marked nonwashable.
Switch off and disconnect the vacuum from its charger, then remove only the filter as instructed. Tap loose dust gently over a bin.
Rinse with cold or lukewarm running water as allowed by your model instructions. Do not use detergent, bleach, a dishwasher or washing machine.
Continue the model-approved rinse until the water is clear, then shake out excess moisture without damaging the filter media.
Air-dry in a well-ventilated place for at least 24 hours and check for moisture by touch. Never use a hair dryer, oven, microwave or open flame.
Refit only once completely dry and aligned correctly. If warnings persist, check model-specific replacement or blockage guidance and contact support.
