I have a few of HEPA filters, too expensive to toss.
I hit them against the inside of our trash bin & then water wash in
the laundry sink with water from the washing machine.
Let dry for a couple days (that's why I have more than one).
This has worked (so far) for dozens of cycles & filters appear to work
as good as new.
cheers
