I did not have this experience personally.
There’s been 1 major question a ton of people have been asking lately. If you search the internet you will find all kinds of posts & only a little information on this. People are wondering if rewashable air filters or the proper air filters are the best to use. In my personal experience with the 2 I will just state my personal opinion on the matter. What I found is that rewashable air filters are convenient & saves you from having to buy a volume of proper air filters. Also the rewashable air filters can be cheaper depending on where you get them. Some places sell rewashable air filters more pricey than the proper air filters. However at discount Heating & Air Conditioning outlets & at heating, ventilation, & A/C wholesalers they might be priced lower. But here’s the catch. Rewashable air filters need to be washed more often than when you change out your proper air filters. This can tend to be a big hassle. Also, I have study at a few places on the internet that the rewashable air filters do not filter out all the dirt dust & dander that proper air filters do. I did not have this experience personally. Although I don’t own any pets. So I can not speak for the dander side of things. So my ultimate opinion for all this is to just stick to proper air filters if you are looking for less headaches. And chances are good that everyone do not have access to heating, ventilation, & A/C wholesalers, so you will also save money going the proper air filter route as well.
