If you have been using a Dyson Airwrap for a long time, there’s a good chance that you have never cleaned its filter. Even if you knew how to clean it, there’s also a good chance you wouldn’t know where to start.

But, did you know that the filter collects dust and debris over time from the air and can become clogged, which can cause the device to overheat and become less effective at its job? Moreover, when the filter becomes excessively dirty, it can start to blink red or stop working altogether.

However, cleaning the Airwrap filter might seem intimidating, but it’s easier than you think! Below, I will explain this cleaning process step by step so you can easily do it without any trouble.

How to clean Dyson Airwrap Filter?

In short: To clean your Dyson Airwrap filter, hold the machine’s handle firmly and twist the filter cage anti-clockwise. Then remove the filter cage from the Airwrap and wash it with warm tap water. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris from the cage, and rinse it again with tap water. Finally, allow it to dry completely.

You are confused, right? No problem! Here’s the step-by-step process to clean the filter:

Step 1: Unplug your Airwrap from the power source

This is the first step in cleaning your Airwrap styler filter, but it’s very important. You’ll want to unplug your Airwrap from the power source before you get started.

This will prevent any possible electrical shock that may occur while you are cleaning it.

Step 2: Clean the filter cage using the brush.

Take the filter cleaning brush and thread it through the cable. After threading the brush into the cable, pull the brush over the hair styler.

Now rotate the bristles in a circular motion around the air filter.

You can even clean your Airwrap filter with a small vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. So don’t worry if you lost it!

Step 3: Clean the Air filter

Once you have cleaned the filter cage, pull it from the hair styler slowly.

Spin the filter cleaner brush around the uncovered air filter in a circular motion and blow away any accumulated dust.

Do not use any chemicals or liquids to wash the filter cage! Only use warm running tap water. 

Step 5: Reinstall the filter cage

Finally, reinstall the filter cage in its place. Now enjoy your day!

How to clean Dyson Airwrap Attachment?

Cleaning the Dyson Airwrap attachment is quite simple. It only takes a couple of minutes and does not require any complex tasks.

Here’s how:

• Take a mug of water and add a small amount of hair shampoo to it.
• Shake the water until it becomes bubbly.
• Place the attachment into the water and let it soak for about 30 minutes.
• After the time has passed, take the attachment out and dry it completely before re-installing it.

Do not keep the attachment submerged in water for more than 30 minutes. There is a screw inside that can rust if left in water for too long.

F.A.Q.s

Q. My Airwrap filter smells bad after cleaning! Why?

If your Dyson Airwrap smells bad after cleaning the filter, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem. First, ensure you have properly rinsed the filter cage with clean water. You may also need to replace the filter if it is old or damaged.

If the problem persists, you can try cleaning the Airwrap filter cage using warm water with soap.

Q. How frequently should I clean my Airwrap filter?

At least once a week!

Because the Airwrap’s internal components are protected from contaminants by the dual-layered filtration system, which has an 85-micron mesh, it can clog easily because of its tiny holes. Therefore, you should clean your Dyson Airwrap filter once a week.

Q. My filter has broken. Can I use the Airwrap without it?

No. It is never recommended that you use your hair dryer without a filter.

But if you believe you need to replace it as soon as possible and do not have time to clean the filter, you can purchase a spare or replacement from Amazon.
