Before cleaning, check to see which type of filters your Bionaire uses. Carbon filters and most HEPA filters cannot be cleaned. They should be replaced when necessary. The foam pre-filter and permanent HEPA filters can be cleaned.
Things You Will Need
Foam Pre-Filter

Turn off your air purifier and unplug it.
-
Remove the pre-filter by opening the front of your air purifier and removing the pre-filter frame.
-
Hand wash the pre-filter in warm, soapy water. Rinse the filter thoroughly.
-
Dab the pre-filter with a hand towel to remove any excess water. Allow the pre-filter to air dry completely.
