The Dyson DC28 Animal vacuum cleaner is designed to maintain powerful suction for removal of pet hair and debris. The Dyson Animal includes two washable filters that never need to be replaced. The filters remove allergens and other particles as small as cigarette smoke while you vacuum to expel clean exhaust air. Wash the filters every three months, or more often to keep your Dyson Animal vacuum performing with maximum efficiency. The filters don't require any cleaning products.
