Use an air purifier in your PC room!

[ChickenTacos]

An air purifier is an excellent way to help clean the air of the room in which your valuable electronics, such as a PC, are located in. Dusty components? Dusty electronics? Dusty PC? Dusty console? Use an air purifier, and vacuum regularly!

Do you use an air purifier? Have you used an air purifier?

Quite the noticeable difference before and after!

You're vacuuming HEPA filters in the belief it prolongs their usage.

Yes, I clearly stated that right here in this thread. They get clogged as they properly do their job, so, a simple vacuum along the surface will remove the debris, clean and ready for use again.

Why are you so angry about it?

You're disseminating misinformation that compromises the effectiveness of air filters, reducing their longevity.

Attempting to wash or vacuum them will damage the filter.

A simple vacuum will NOT make "it ready for use" again".

Cleaning destroys the filter.
"You cannot clean a HEPA filter by using something like a vacuum because the particles are trapped not only on the surface of the filter but also deep inside the media," Bloemer says. Don't even think about running it under your sink, either—liquids like water and soap will destroy the filter media, he adds.

Vacuuming a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is generally not recommended and can potentially damage it. Here's why:

Delicate Structure: HEPA filters are made of very fine fibers arranged in a dense mesh to trap microscopic particles (as small as 0.3 microns). Vacuuming can damage these fibers, reducing the filter's effectiveness.

Ineffective Cleaning: HEPA filters are designed to capture particles deep within the filter material. Vacuuming only removes surface debris and won't restore the filter's full functionality.

Risk of Damage: The suction from a vacuum cleaner can tear or distort the filter's fibers, especially if it's a high-powered vacuum. This can create gaps or holes, allowing particles to pass through.

Manufacturer Guidelines: Most HEPA filter manufacturers explicitly advise against vacuuming and recommend replacing the filter when it's dirty or clogged. Attempting to clean it may void the warranty.

Are you 'Bloemer'?

I don't know 'Bloemer', and I don't know you.

But, what I do know is that from experience, I can honestly tell people exactly what I have typed here.

It works.

It doesn't work, and here's why, let's ask uncle chatGPT aswell:

People like you are the reason why community guidelines and fact checkers exist, so fools who like to spread misinformation are stopped right in their tracks.

That's the last i'll say about it, i gave my sources why it's not recommended, and anyone with at least a modicum of intelligence will agree on this position.
