Replace your vacuum's HEPA filter for $0.05 (estimated)

I think the HEPA filter in my Eureka vacuum got a little wet once.  Then, the next time I used it, it seemed I was sneezing more than normal. Thought little of it at the time. After a couple more uses I finally started to take it apart to see if there was something going on. Turned out to be the HEPA filter. It was covered in black mold. So, rather than shell out the cash to replace it I decided to go a cheaper route. Bounty to the rescue!
Just one, full size Bounty paper towel = problem solved.
Same quality and micron filtering? Doubtful. But, it works to my satisfaction. The paper towel is readily available, easily replaced, disposable and biodegradable. Maybe splurge and use two for enhanced filtering.



Airflow is good. possibly better.
