Keeping on top of your filter's maintenance is key to looking after your Dyson PencilVac™cleaner. We recommend removing the filter and gently tapping away any excess dust or dirt over a bin as often as possible, for easy regular upkeep. For a more extensive clean, complete a filter wash with water at least once every month.
