Eureka Sanitaire Dirt Cup Filter

This filter is specifically designed to fit Eureka models 5843 and DCF3. You should verify your vacuum's model number, typically found on a sticker on the base or near the dirt cup, before purchasing.

Yes, this filter is washable. Simply rinse it under cold running water to remove debris and let it air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling it in your vacuum.

HEPA filtration is designed to capture microscopic particles like fine dust, pollen, and allergens that standard filters might miss. This helps improve the air quality in your home while you clean.

Even with regular washing, filters eventually lose their efficiency as fibers break down or become permanently clogged. We recommend replacing the filter every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if you notice a drop in suction power.

This specific filter is manufactured as part number 68903. While it is compatible with the 5843 and DCF3 systems, you should always cross-reference your vacuum's manual or the original part number to ensure a proper seal and fit.
