I cleaned a pleated HEPA filter for my vacuum cleaner.

I want to dry it out.

I ran 70% IPA thru it to draw out the moisture, but it still has some residual moisture in it after 2 days.

Any other ideas to try?

Would putting it in the fridge for maybe a week help since the fridge does a good job of drying out food. :-)

Thanks,
Andy

Rinse it out with a cup of Everclear and let it air dry.

Some are totally ruined by water washing. They "deform" and basically
permanently plug up. I've had the same problem with a simple
automotive air filter. Wash the dust out, dry it - even using a hair
drier - and NO air gets through it afterwards.

Thanks so much.

You got me to thinking. I blew through the filter and hardly any air came out the other side.

My Hoover Windtunnel does work without it being installed.

I guess it just cleans the exhaust air coming out into the room ??

yes - but they are relatively cheap and SHOULD be replaced.

from HOOVER:

A washable HEPA filter should be cleaned by rinsing it under cold
water. ... A HEPA filter marketed as “permanent” should be cleaned by
gently using a vacuum cleaner to suck away dust and debris from the
surface of the filter. Water should not be used on these types of
filters

Alcohol sucks in moisture. I would, set it in the sun, or run it in spurts
in vacuum to clear openings.

If it is not a "washable" HEPA filter no amount of drying or sucking
will restore it. it is FUBAR. If it says "permanent" it is NOT
WASHABLE - water destroys it PERMANENTLY
