If you're interested in learning more about how to clean your Shark vacuum filter, we recommend that you watch a video tutorial on the company's YouTube channel. These short videos will provide you with clear instructions on how to get your vac back into top shape.

The company also provides an online FAQ page to help you determine the best way to clean your vacuum filter. There you can find information on how to clean the various types of vacuum cleaner filters, such as foam, felt, and post-motor.

Felt Filters
The filters on a Shark vacuum cleaner are an important part of its performance. If they become clogged with dirt, they can affect the vacuum's suction power. Cleaning them regularly is the best way to maintain your vacuum and ensure its efficiency.

The filter system in a Shark vacuum typically includes one or two thick foam filters plus a felt filter. The foam filter may also have a HEPA filter to capture allergens and other dirt particles before they reach the air intake.

If you have a dirty foam filter, the easiest way to clean it is to dunk it in soapy water and rinse it. Once the filter is clean, it should look white again. If it doesn't, then it's time to replace it.

You can also use a microfiber cloth to wipe the foam filter down, but make sure not to scrub too hard as you might damage the material. Once you've finished, let the foam filter dry thoroughly before reassembling it and putting it back in your vacuum.

Felt filters are a bit more complicated to wash. If you want to, you can gently tap the felt filters on their side to loosen any dirt they have, then soak them in a bowl of warm, soapy water

It's recommended to do this at least once per month, but check your manual to see what the recommendation is for your particular model. If you do not wash the foam and felt filters in a timely manner, they will become stained and need to be replaced.

To get started, unscrew the handle hose from your vacuum, and remove the dust canister, foam/felt filter, and HEPA filter and cover. Be careful to note how the parts are put together and replace them in the same order when you reassemble your vacuum.

After reassembling your vacuum, run it through a couple of times to make sure that all the parts are properly fitted and working as they should. This will help keep your vacuum performing at its best for years to come.

Post-Motor Filters
A Shark vacuum filter is a vital part of the system that traps dirt and dust so it can be safely disposed of in the vacuum's dust canister. They also prevent fine dust and dirt from entering the motor and clogging it up. It's a good idea to clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters on a regular basis to keep your Shark cleaner working at its best.

Cleaning the filters will ensure that your Shark is able to work at its optimum performance and that the vacuum can suction up as much dirt, dust, and debris as possible. It's recommended that you clean your pre-motor and post-motor filters on an annual basis, but more frequent cleaning may be necessary if you use the vacuum on a regular basis or during heavy periods of dust and debris.

The process of cleaning your Shark filter is easy to do, and it doesn't involve any specialist equipment or tools - just a little bit of time. First, disconnect the handle hose from your vacuum and remove it to a sink or tub of soapy water. Then, using a brush or rag, gently reach into the bendy ends of the hose and remove any sticky dust and grime from them.

Once you've cleaned the handle hose, it's time to get to grips with your shark vacuum filter. To access your vacuum's filter, you'll need to unclip the "grill" cover on top of the dust canister. This is located on the left hand side of your vacuum's main unit if you have an upright model.

You'll find the post-motor filter under this grille in most Shark vacuums. The process of removing the filter will vary depending on your model and brand.

Brush Rolls
The brush rolls in your vacuum are a critical part of your cleaner’s operation. They make your floors look great and also pick up dirt and debris that can otherwise cause a buildup of dust and grime in the airways of the vacuum.

Brush rollers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some with very few bristles. Others have many. The speed at which they rotate varies from model to model, some up to 6,500 RPM. Some brush rolls even have replaceable brushes and beater bars.

Some models of Shark vacuum cleaners include an anti-tangle tool that prevents hair from getting wrapped around the bristle brush roll. If you have a model without this technology, it’s still worth taking the time to clean the brush roll regularly.

Once you’ve removed the brush roll, it’s time to take a look inside your filter. Dirt and debris accumulate inside the filter, particularly in the foam

After rinsing the filters, allow them to air dry for at least 24 hours before reinserting them into your vacuum cleaner. Afterwards, check the foam and felt filters for any stains or odors.

If you notice any stains or odors, it may be a sign of a blockage. This can happen when a lot of debris is caught in the wand or hose, causing the suction to weaken. It can also occur if an object gets trapped in the wand or hose, which blocks air flow and causes your cleaner to sound unusually loud.

To avoid this, empty your vacuum’s dirt canister after each use. It’s also a good idea to regularly take the vacuum apart and give all of the parts a thorough cleaning. Doing so will help you to keep your vacuum cleaner working smoothly and efficiently, and it’ll also save money in the long run.
