Reusable, Cost-Effective, and Eco-Friendly Filters for a Cleaner Home and a Healthier Planet.
What Are Permanent Washable Air Filters?
Permanent washable air filters are a sustainable and cost-effective solution for maintaining clean and healthy indoor air. Unlike disposable filters, these filters are designed for long-term use and can be easily cleaned and reused. They work by using layers of electrostatically charged materials or fine mesh to capture airborne particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants as air passes through your HVAC system.
The electrostatic charge in the filter attracts and traps these particles, preventing them from circulating in your home. This process not only helps to improve indoor air quality but also ensures your HVAC system runs efficiently by maintaining proper airflow. Cleaning the filter is straightforward—simply remove it, rinse it thoroughly with water to remove accumulated debris, let it dry completely, and reinstall it. This process can be repeated as needed, making these filters a practical and eco-friendly alternative to disposable options.
By investing in a permanent washable air filter, you’re not only reducing waste and lowering your replacement costs but also contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment. These filters are ideal for anyone looking to balance performance, convenience, and sustainability.
The Benefits of Permanent Washable Air Filters
Cleaning is Quick & Easy
When cleaned as directed, your Air-Care washable air filter will give you many years of trouble free use.

Removes Tiny Microns
The air you breathe contains many irritants such as pollen, dust, bacteria, mold spores, pet dander and smoke. Most of these particles are smaller than ten microns. Your Air-Care filter is an effective and efficient way to reduce the number of these particles in your air. two columns with image & video.

“A more economical and environmentally-friendly alternative to the buy-and-toss filters. Easy to clean and optimal for use with our HVAC system.”
Greg W.
“I have a large AC return and it was difficult to find the proper fitting filter so when I found yours, I purchased two they work extremely well and it’s very convenient to swap them out clean the used one and put it away for a couple of months until it’s time to put it back in service”
Dustin C.
“We have 3 of these filters total, and they paid for themselves very quickly. Much better than throwing away a $20 filter every 3 months.”
Bonita C.
“I was recommended your filters by our HVAC service repair man. I also love that it is less trash from the conventional filters in our landfill.”
Missy M.
“Absolutely recommend the Aire-care filter because of the price, the cut down of dust in my home and the ease of cleaning. At first the price may seem high however, not having to buy filters is saving me a small fortune and that’s awesome it basically is paying for itself and then my home was horrible with dust so I decided to use this filter and I clean it monthly which can not be done with paper filters and that really helps an enormous amount with the dust and finally. I truly is rinse let dry and return to furnace…absolutely fantastic product in every way! THANK YOU!”
Mike L.
“I love these filters. I have to in my area with all the dirt I was changing to regular filters every 2 weeks. With these I can wash them every two weeks or once a month depending how bad they get dirty. Easy to use and wash.”

“Not to long ago I bought my Permanent Home Air Filter for the first time and have been very impressed and satisfied with the product. It cleans up very easily and fits right back into place after drying. It is very comforting to know that I don’t need to run to the store to clean my filter. I , personally, like the fact that I am causing less trash and garbage in the world. Just trying to do my part. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Glad I bought mine !!”
Theresa F.
“I like the ease and convenience from the permanent air filters. I certainly love the savings I’ve experienced by having these ac filters by not having to buy and replace expensive disposable filters. A big thank you for the message reminders when cleaning is. A great product! 💯”

“Air-Care Filters – A Game Changer for Home Air Quality! I absolutely love everything about the Air-Care filters—the idea, the build quality, and the longevity. They’ve completely changed how I think about home air filtration. Unlike disposable filters that create unnecessary waste and end up in landfills after just one use, Air-Care filters offer a sustainable and high-performance alternative. The build quality is exceptional. Made from superior quality metal, these filters are far sturdier and better built than any competitor I’ve tried. The materials feel solid, and you can tell right away they are designed to last. The fact that they’re reusable only adds to their value, saving both money and the environment in the long run. Since installing Air-Care filters, I’ve noticed a dramatic reduction in dust buildup and those annoying black deposits on my ceilings and vents caused by the HVAC system. The air in my home feels fresher, cleaner, and overall healthier. The difference has been remarkable! If you’re serious about improving your home’s air quality and doing something good for the planet, I highly recommend Air-Care filters. Their durability, performance, and eco-friendly design make them a must-have for any homeowner.”
Common Questions
What’s the difference between a standard-size filter and custom-size filter?
Every filter we sell is either a standard size or a custom size. The length and width for a standard-size air filter are undercut by 3/8″ to accommodate standard-size openings. This is consistent with other filter manufacturers. For example, if you are replacing a 25″ x 25″ disposable filter, then you need a standard size 25″ x 25″ electrostatic air filter. The actual size of this filter is 24 5/8″ x 24 5/8″.
A custom-size filter however is cut to the exact sizes you specify. So a custom size 25″ x 25″ filter will be exactly 25″ x 25″ – there is no undercut. The difference is very important – so if you have questions, please contact us.
How much better are electrostatic filters than disposable air filters?
Electrostatic filters offer a significant advantage over disposable air filters in both performance and sustainability. Unlike disposable filters, which rely on a single layer of material to trap particles, electrostatic filters use multiple layers of electrostatically charged material to attract and capture airborne contaminants such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. This makes them more effective at improving indoor air quality and maintaining HVAC system efficiency. Additionally, electrostatic filters are washable and reusable, reducing waste and saving money over time, while disposable filters require frequent replacement and contribute to landfill waste. For households seeking better air filtration and an eco-friendly alternative, electrostatic filters are a superior choice.
Where do I install an electrostatic air filter?
Washable air filters should be placed in the same place your current air filter is located. Most air filters are located either next to the furnace or at the end of a large return vent. Just replace your current disposable air filter with the same size permanent washable air filter.
How do electrostatic air filters work?
Electrostatic air filters work by using static electricity to capture airborne particles as air flows through your HVAC system. These filters are made up of multiple layers of specially designed materials that generate an electrostatic charge when air passes through them. This charge creates a magnetic-like effect, attracting and trapping particles such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. The charged layers act as a powerful barrier, preventing these contaminants from recirculating in your home while allowing clean air to pass through. Because they are washable and reusable, electrostatic filters maintain their effectiveness over time with proper cleaning, making them an efficient and sustainable choice for improving indoor air quality.
Why would I need a flexible frame filter?
A flexible frame filter is ideal for HVAC systems or applications with non-standard or irregularly shaped filter slots. Unlike rigid filters, flexible frame filters can bend or compress slightly, making them easier to fit into tight or uniquely shaped spaces without compromising their filtration performance. They are especially useful in older systems or custom installations where exact filter dimensions may be hard to find. Additionally, flexible frame filters maintain an airtight seal even in challenging setups, ensuring efficient air filtration and optimal system performance. If you need a reliable, adaptable solution for clean air, a flexible frame filter is a practical choice.
