My Sebo Felix navy is just over 6 months old, and the exhaust filter had discoloured and stretched, and when taking it off, was black with carbon dust, so I got a replacement filter from amazon.
I had a spur of the moment however and thought to myself "as I have a new one, what would happen if I where to stick this in the washing machine ?" I was going to rinse the washer through with vinegar anyway (great tip by the way) and I had got a new filter like I said, so the worst that could happen is the filter gets ruined, but it wouldn't matter because I had a new one. So I put it in the washing machine on a coloured cycle, with a small amount of detergent and extra rinse. It came out looking brand new, the other side was white and it has shrunk slightly so wasn't stretched. I put it on the cleaner and it went on as it did the day I got it, just done the house and it is fine. Hasn't frayed and there are no creases. I wouldn't do it too often though, but once or twice I think is fine. But yeah, so ill be using the original one until the year is up. P.S: I did put the filter in a large net that came with the machine, that is used for small clothing item to stop them separating. |

You ran a complete washing cycle just for an sebo filter? I'd have put it in the sink to soak for an hour and some washing solution. |
