If you have a Bissell Crosswave filter, it’s time to clean it. This machine is great for cleaning carpets and floors, but it can also be used to clean the filter. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Unplug the machine and remove the dirt and dust cover.
  2. Remove the filter from the machine. It should come out easily if it’s been cleaned recently. If not, use a screwdriver to pry it off.
  3. Wash the filter in warm water with a mild detergent or vacuum cleaner using the hose attachment on your machine. Be sure to rinse it well after each use.
  4. Hang the clean filter on a drying rack or place in a sunny spot to dry completely before reinstalling into the machine ..
