Hmmm, odd. I usually do our DC35 filter every four to six months,
they only take a day to dry.

The Dyson DC26 instructions say it takes a day (in sunlight if the
illustration is to be relied on) but it takes much longer.

Perhaps the filter materials are different between models.

Depends heavily on how well you wring them out.

OP here (and I didn't get much response on my original question, which
was about getting "stuff" out of the motor filter when I wash it -- in
my case, nothing.)

But since the thread has swerved ... I agree with Andrew: I wring mine
out vigorously, hang them in the sun (hahahahaha) if possible, or in the
airing cupboard -- dry in a day.

This wonderful chap -- who taught me how to change the switch on my
Dyson last week -- seems to say that he shoves his filters in the
washing machine .... but I may have misheard what he says (last 5 mins
of vid is about cleaning the machine):
