Eureka DCF-16 Filter

This filter is specifically designed for the Eureka 2950, 2960, and 2990 series upright vacuums. Before purchasing, verify your vacuum's model number, which is typically found on a sticker on the back or bottom of the unit.

The DCF-16 is a washable foam filter, so you can rinse it with water to remove dust and debris. Allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling it to prevent motor damage from moisture.

Even with regular washing, foam filters eventually degrade and lose their ability to trap fine particles. We recommend replacing the filter every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if you notice a drop in suction power or if the foam appears torn or permanently discolored.

Yes, each package includes two filters. This is convenient because it allows you to rotate them, ensuring you always have a clean, dry filter ready to use while the other one is drying after a wash.

This filter serves two main functions: it traps fine dust and allergens to keep your home's air cleaner, and it acts as a protective barrier to prevent debris from entering and damaging your vacuum's motor.
