I bought it and it said "washable". The model is H13 I think I determined somehow.
I'm not sure how to wash it. I tried to put water on it and the microfibers, due to surface tension, repel the water droplets.
I washed it with soap and soaked it some and it seems a bit cleaner but there's still some black soot and grime stuck between the folds.
Answer
You NEVER want to use soaps, detergents, or anything else that will leave a residue or damage the filter medium. Most manufacturers recommend rinsing filters under clean, warm, running water only. Sponge type filters can be squeezed and massaged to break debris free. Pleated filters either just rinse them well or gently use an old toothbrush to work the debris free.
Your vacuum should have a manufacturers tag either on the back or bottom of the machine. This will tell you the model number, and usually has the phone number to customer service. Consult with your owners manual for specific washing instructions or contact the manufacturer's help line. If you need a new manual, this site has manufacturer contact information for most of the major brands.

Can a canister vacuum cleaner hepa filter be washed?
Answer
I have been servicing and repairing vacuum cleaners for about 10 years now so I see a lot of filters. In my opinion even the filters that can be washed really shouldn't be unless they are a foam type material. Basically the washing doesn't really get the dirt out, what you have to consider is that the pores of the filter are super small to be able to trap particles as small as pollen and smoke and water doesn't flow well through holes this small. Also as the vacuum is running it is actually trying to pull air through the filter so the dust gets pulled in really hard and effectively gets stuck.
Your vacuum will last longer by replacing the filter as it will cool the motor more effectively so while there is a cost in buying a new filter it extends the life of your vacuum hence saving you money in the long term.
Hope this helps!
