    Cleaning your vacuum filter in the dishwasher might get the filter clean, but it’s TERRIBLE for your dishwasher and will probably clog it up and cause problems. It’s not meant for dirt and hair! If you do this, you should start by pulling off any thing you can with a rag or cleaning brush and then hose it down REALLY good first.
