Standard Cleaning Options

SOlutions for routine cleaning and maintenance OF K&N REUSABLE FILTERS

K&N® provides two standard filter cleaning and maintenance protocols: Wet Wash and Dry Wash. 

Every facility is unique. The facility characteristics and needs of the maintenance staff will determine the most appropriate way to clean and maintain the filters. K&N reusable filters are designed to minimize labor costs compared to disposable filters, though they may require some process modifications. Facility managers should consider factors like water availability, water draining, location of air handlers in the building, distance of buildings from maintenance area, drying, and humidity sensitivity as they introduce the process at their facility.
