Is your vacuum not performing as well as it once did? Clogged filters might be reducing its effectiveness. Watch for these indicators: decreased suction power, visible dirt or discoloration on the filter, musty odors when vacuuming, or increased dust in the air after cleaning. We recommend inspecting your filters monthly and replacing them according to your model's specifications. Combining fresh filters with new bags and belts provides the most effective cleaning solution for your home.

For optimal performance, replace pre-motor filters every 3-6 months and HEPA filters every 6-12 months, depending on usage. Households with pets, allergies, or high dust levels may need more frequent replacements. 

Some vacuum filters are washable and reusable, while others must be replaced. Check your user manual or the filter packaging for specific care instructions. Never reinstall a filter until it's completely dry.

Filter access varies by model. Most pre-motor filters are located before the motor, often underneath or behind the vacuum bag. Post-motor filters are typically found near the exhaust vent.
