Maintain optimum performance by cleaning your filter

Airborne contaminants, such as hairspray, dust and leave-in conditioners, can cause clogging in hair dryer filters, resulting in poor performance over time. We recommend you clean the filter at least once a week to maintain optimum performance, and protect the finely-tuned technology inside your Dyson Supersonic™ Professional edition. In salon environments, where filters can clog quickly, we recommend cleaning it every day.
