The best filter for your vacuum

ToughJobs
By

Vacuum filters ensure a deep clean for rugs, carpets, and for certain vacuums, hardwood floors. They also purify indoor air, preserve your vacuum’s performance, and prevent allergies. To help you find the best vacuum filter for your cleaner, check out our list of the best options available.

There are different types of vacuum filters depending on the vacuum cleaner you’re working with. To start, a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter for vacuums is a high-quality filter best suited for spaces with young children or people with sensitive lungs and noses. These filters require a bagged vacuum cleaner.

Other options include disposable paper material filters or washable cloth filters that may or may not be compatible with your cleaner. Check to see if your vacuum cleaner only works with certain brands before purchasing a filter. Now, let’s take a look at our top picks.
