So is the only reason to change filters to avoid blockage and reduced airflow but not filtering capacity?

- sizzle 6y agoWould some generous Lysol spray get rid of the mold?
- Gibbon1 6y agoJust flip it around
- AstralStorm 6y agoYes, but it will ruin dust filtration, so the proper choice is hot water vapor, dry heat, or hydrogen peroxide. Perhaps silver ions too. HEPA filters use exactly the same meltblown fabrics as respirators, except thicker and in accordion form.
