5 varieties of vacuum filter for a cleaner workspace

By

If you’ve got a solid vacuuming program in place, congratulations: you’re already living or working in a more breathable environment. Still, pushing a vacuum around won’t do the trick unless all component parts are regularly refreshed, including filters. Modern vacuums not only suctions particulate matter but, with the help of internal filters, catch environmental dust. Considering the stuff it’s exposed to on a regular run, your vacuum filter likely needs changing more than you realize. Here are five varieties of vacuum filters to keep your vacuum operation in tip-top shape.

Not all filters are created equal—in fact they’re designed to fit particular brands and models. This one works with the Bissell Crosswave 1785 series (which covers a lot of ground). Because it’s a HEPA-quality filter you’ll get suction of particles as tiny as 0.3 microns, e.g. pollen, mold, spores, dust, microbes, and even smoke. Ideal for pet owners and allergy sufferers, but then, so are most filters.

When buying filters it’s vital to make sure you have the right variety. This VEVA 3-pack Vacuum HEPA Filter Set comes in model SF-HA 50, making it compatible with the high-quality range of Miele canister vacuums (see the product box for complete list). Again, you’ll get HEPA-level filtration, capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns. Easy to install and durable, with fine thick-layered filtration, they’ll keep the air clean as you clean.

This Dyson-compatible pack comes with three filters and three “pre-filters,” which protect and actually extend the life of the filter itself. HEPA quality means micro-filtration of that pesky particulate matter in your home or office, and VEVA’s own advanced technology actually actively removes odors as the vacuum works. Easy to install in a wide variety of Dyson machines.

It’s wise to have extra pre-filters like these on hand: they’re a bit more cost effective, and they extend the life of the filter itself. This six-pack of VEVA Premium Vacuum Pre-Filters is also Dyson-compatible (with a wide variety of machines), easy to install and highly effective at capturing minute particulate matter, anything from allergens to dust motes to smoke to microbes.

These squat, triangular filters—designed for hand-held vacuuming—work just as effectively as their big brothers, using HEPA-level filtration to purify your air and space each time you clean. The VEVA Premium 12-piece Vacuum Filter Set comes with six filters and six pre-filter caps, and works specifically with the Bissell 1782 Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vac. The specialty here is pet hair, but you’ll eradicate all kinds of particulate matter.

Replacing the vacuum bag is step one, but a fresh filter is essential if you want your vacuum to help purify the air. Replacing your air filter is also an essential safety measure: a dirty filter can overheat and cause troubles with your vacuum’s motor. Whatever model you’re working with, value packs like these help you keep a supply of the right filters on hand; your floor, and air, will remain cleaner in the long run and your staff or family breathing easier.
