Henry Hoover filters can’t be washed with water. Instead, you should remove as much dust as possible by tapping off the loose debris into a bin, then vacuuming the filter with another vac. If you don’t have another vacuum, then a soft (dry) brush can be used to remove dirt. To access the filter, you need to take off the lid of your Henry using the same method as when replacing the bag. Additionally, if you’ve made the mistake of washing your Henry vacuum’s filter with water, then you’ll probably need to replace it. Once dust and dirt become mud inside the filter, it’s virtually impossible to remove.

Henry filters are not washable. You shouldn’t use a wet cloth, run them under a tap, or put them in the washing machine, as this will cause the dirt to turn into mud. Once that happens, the filter will probably become too clogged and need to be replaced. On the other hand, if you just have hard floors, then the streamlined hard floor-specific head is the one to grab. In fact, this head is one of the very best hard floor heads I’ve ever used. It’s really flat, like a sleek sports car, but it performs superbly well and feels fabulously smooth to push around. A high-five to Numatic’s R&D department for this radical piece of engineering. If you have access to another vacuum cleaner, use it to vacuum both sides of the filter. Make sure you clean all areas of the filter including the sides. This is an effective way to remove more dirt than just tapping off loose debris. With normal filters air passes through a sheet with holes and larger dust particles get trapped in the holes that are big enough to let air through but too small to let large dust particles and things like hair pass through.

Unfortunately it’s not a regulated market so be wary of any marketing material that states anything such as “HEPA LIKE” or anything like that. Tip: Don’t have a spare vacuum? You can use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and other debris, although this won’t be as effective. Step 4: Replace the Bag A single power switch turns the vacuum cleaner on and off. Note that there are no selectable power modes, bar the aforementioned vent. Performance
