Not quite sure which part exactly you mean but if it's the small square part on top under lid, we just shake it out a bit after every two vacuums. (We have a pet so vacuum maybe 4x week quickly especially when pet sheds often). So far only had this vacuum for a month and no problems yet (only find hose bit shorter then my last brand vacuum, but find cleaning on this one much better). Any ways, havent done it with this one yet but from what I gather plus similar to my last one, after dust it out or take soft older tooth brush to brush off main dirt/dust, Id say maybe every 2 months to soak it in some warm water with suds and then let it dry before putting it back. According to directions this is what I read as well, but I would've assumed it even with no directions. Also I understand if it gets real dirty after awhile even with soaking regularly, that best to buy new one (so basically bit of judgement call). As for other long bin part, after shaking it out each vacuum, I do see bits of dust dirt on groove areas but as long as not blocking I shake it real well, take quick tooth brush over it while its dry, and then just put piece back inside holder. Plan to sud rinse it every month. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wash it out with warm water and let it dry completely before putting it back on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can wash it out in the sink. Let it dry and put it back in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are two different filters...one, yellowish spongy filter at the top of the dirt canister. You simply pull it out and wash it under a faucet with a mild dish soap....let it dry completely then put back in. There is another filter at the bottom of the canister that you can pull out and tap against the side of a trash can to get dirt out. This filter is not washable, according to Bissell and you have to buy a new one. However, I am going to try blowing it clean with a leaf blower, once mine gets very dirty (i've only had my unit a few months and this filter is not dirty at all yet).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Good question! There's a washable pre motor filter located in the top of the dirt tank - press the filter button on the top of the tank to access it. This filter can be hand washed and dried. The post motor filter is located below the dirt cup. This filter cannot be washed but you can tap it against a waste bin to remove any built up dust. We recommend replacing the post motor filter every 6 months or so for optimal use and filtration.
