Very simple. Unplug the unit first. 1) push the button near the top to access the filter. Flip open the top of the unit. 2) to remove the filter unit pull up by the handle. 3) use a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap. DO Not Submerse the filter in water or rinse directly in water. USE the cloth to remove the dirt from the filter then rinse the cloth often to remove the debris and soap. Repeat as needed! 4) VERY IMPORTANT: only touch the filter by the handle AND most of ALL the filter must be 100% dry before you install it back into the unit. Once the filter is dry Slide back into the slot gently DO Not Force it! The filter will only fit One way. 5) close the top and snap it shut. Plug in the unit and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

Open the unit, take out the filter, wash carefully with dish soap and water--it may take some pretty tough scrubbing to get the particulates off. Make sure to do your best to avoid getting water inside the filter. Also make sure that it is completely dry before putting back. Hope this helps!

You remove the filter, run a vacuum cleaner brush over it, and reinsert it. You can also buy a replacement if it wears out or becomes damaged.

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.

Pull out the bottom drawer, reach in and pull the filter down to remove it. Cleaning depends on how dusty the area is.

Cleaning he filter is more than just running water through it. The way I do it is I fold 3 or 4 paper towels along side the sink and I put dish washing soap on the filter and scrub with my hands. After rinsing the soap from the filter I bang the filter hard against the towels to see if anything is left in the filter and there always is. Repeat the process until the is no more junk coming out of the filter. This will keep the water clear and clean.

I just snap it apart and into empty in the garbage. If it's really dusty I'll just wipe it with a rag. I'm sure you could probably wash it if you like. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter. That seems to work really well

Hi! The filter is removable plus a little black basket under that. I do clean those and the to clean the machine I run a cycle of diluted white vinegar and then clean water through two more times to keep it all nice and new. I also keep the water basin lid open if its empty and let it dry

I have not had any problem cleaning the filter. I put it in the shower and use dish washing detergent. My Heat and Air Conditioning tech does it at an outdoor water outlet which does not have hot water but I do not know what cleansing agent he uses. Love it and am sure it has saved hundreds of dollars.

There is a finger loop on the filter on the back side of the heater. Just pull gently away from the heater and the plastic filter assembly pops out. Clean by washing with dish soapy water, or brushing. At the end of each heating season, I like to clean the 5 ceramic discs by blowing air through the front of the heater. No need to remove the discs-just remove the dust filter. To re-install, insert the bottom of the plastic filter assembly into the heater housing then snap in the top ( where the finger loop is) into place.

Have you soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes and then scrub it ? Thats what the directions say. Also I know there are some phony filters out there. Where did you get it ? You need to call the filter company if you have tried soaking it etc and they can send you a good one. Hope this helps you.

You use the green scrubby part of a dish sponge to scrub the outside of the filter. Mine clogged in 24 hours and cleaning didn't help. They sent replacements but

I clean mine out as per instructions. Once a month, especially the bottom tank. Doesn't hurt to give those black filters a light scrub every so often.

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

Use the tip of a ballpoint pen in the hole next to the red light indicating clean the filter. Takes a few seconds and the red light goes off. I haven't had a problem with this. Janice

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?
