    When you clean a vacuum cleaner you become a vacuum cleaner

    For people struggling to get the filter out:
    1. Don't put the wedge (knife, screwdriver, or finger) directly beneath the three catches where the fabric is.
    2. There's a line gap between the filter and the holder
    3. Wedge it with light but firm strength until you loosen the catches.
    Wrote this comment because I kept on pushing on the fabric instead of the actual catches which seems like to be the issue for a few commenters here.

    Thank you!! I ended up using the handle of a plastic spoon instead of the butter knife (I was afraid I’d accidentally break the filter) it worked great to press in the levers to release the filter! 😊 Luckily I didn’t have any gunk inside the filter, it still looked spotless which was surprising with how much I’ve used it!!! Well at least now I know how to do this for future use!!

    Ah thanks. Just been searching up cleaning tips for my V7 vac filter after not bothering for a few years until the vac started pulsing. Didn't know there was a second set of clips to pull apart the filter frame and sleeve; I thought there were only clips to pop the cap off. Besides tapping out the dust and rinsing, I used a hard bristle toothbrush and mild laundry detergent to scrub inside the sleeve, run hot water, and repeat as needed. Now I'm pondering though if detergent and hot water may have done significant damage.

    This video is tremendously helpful. We've been struggling with the vacuum cutting out. Cleaning the filter the way the manual advises sometimes helps, but often doesn't. We tried this method to clean out the inside, were shocked how much junk was inside of it, and once we did this & let it dry, the vacuum works great. I only wish Dyson would recommend doing this. Perhaps they hope that out of frustration you will either buy a new filter or a new Dyson vacuum. Thank you Love Happy Ali!!!!

    OMG i didn’t know it came apart I have always just rinsed under water and put in the sun to dry. With watching your video I just was able to get it off and the dust was all the way halfway up. 😮 this will help the machine and it probably will smell better 😊 Thank you very much

    VERY helpful video! When using a butter knife to dislodge the clips expect it to be difficult. Make sure that your knife is between the two blue plastic collars. Don't try to push the knife below the innermost collar.

    Oh my, all my rinsing of the filter from the outside never got the inner crud out; in fact, it caused the inner dust to cakes and dry into a hard stalk within the plastic insert. No wonder my vacuum was cycling on and off. Thank you!

    I’ve had my Dyson DC59 Motorhead for 8 years & i’ve never clean the filter until right now! It always looks perfect and brand new so I took it apart and it was 3/4 full of cat hair and powdered dirt! 😳😱 that’s probably why my Dyson keeps stopping while I’m vacuuming and showing an amber light. Thank you so much for this video! We use these at my church and no one knows how to clean them either they just been rinsing them underwater 😬

    My v8 animal is pulsing on max and some inspection seems to suggest that a filter cleaning is in order. It’s a bit of a pain since it takes so long to dry, but really does improve the performance. I picked up a Sebo automatic for $7 at an estate sale recently so that’s been my recent favorite but the dyson is very convenient for certain tasks.

      Get an electric duster. I was able to completely disassemble my V7 to clean almost every crevice with either isopropyl alcohol or with soap and water in a few hours. The electric duster helps with drying certain parts and removing dust from places that I wasn’t comfortable putting under water.
      That being said I was able to almost completely dry the pre-filter shown in this video in about 10 minutes.

    Exactly why only washing the filter is poor practice regardless of what Dyson recommends. Well done, they come apart easier after you get the hang of it. I prefer to use a small flat blade screwdriver to push down on the plastic tab in the slotted holder openings.

    If the exhaust air out of your Dyson V8 stinks, this cone shaped filter is why. It looks clean on the outside but is likely full of dust and debris. And if you "washed" it previously without taking it apart as shown in this video, well, you've been drawing air through wet, moist junk!
