Cleaning the Activated Carbon Filter
Designed to absorb bad odors, the activated carbon filter can eliminate even the worst smells, such as cigarette smoke or kitchen fumes, and it is an indispensable component in the best air purifiers because it is porous and has a high absorption capacity. These characteristics ensure that the air purification is more thorough when the activated carbon filter is used in combination with other filters, if you maintain it correctly and clean or replace it when necessary: When the activated carbon filter is saturated with particles, its ability to remove odors and harmful gases decreases, which means it should be replaced or cleaned.
Here are the steps to clean the activated carbon filter:
Turn off the purifier and unplug it
Remove the filter from your device
Shake the filter to remove accumulated dust
Wash the filter under running water
Let it air dry before reassembling
Please note: the activated carbon filter can sometimes become too saturated to clean, which means it must be replaced.
