Title: Anyone used the old lady's washing machine for air-filters
Post by: subarumy98 on April 08, 2009, 07:09:23 am

and lived to tell the tale ?

Just had to do 4 of the most cruddy filters ever. BelRay blue is an absolute bitch one it has seen river water. It becomes even stickier. That washing machine in the kitchen should be in my garage...!

Hoover Air Filter Dryer - patent pending

I use the clothes dryer to tumble dry the filters on warm (NEVER hot) after the usual cleaning regime. Dryer smells a bit of turps but the filters come out dry and ready to oil, or bag up for later.

I limit myself to using the oven to heat C/cases - and even then I make sure 'she who must be obeyed' (especially when it comes to matters pertaining to the indoors domain) is guaranteed to be away from home reliably for a protract time.

Our dryer ended up in the garage because of space in the laundry issues so I reckon it becomes fair game.
They work so well, you should have one there anyway. :)
