You didn't state what model so I can't answer where your filters go. Most vacuums have 2 or 3 filters that need cleaned frequently and replaced when they become restricted. Air must pass from the nozzle at the floor through the dirt cup or bag and filters and through the motor to keep the motor cool, then exit the vacuum back into your home. Clogged filters will shorten the life of the motor and your vacuum won't have near as much suction and airflow. If your vacuum is bagless You most likely have one or two filters filtering the air between the dirt cup and the motor intake to keep dirt and grit from being sucked into the motor which will cause premature failure. There is usually a HEPA filter filtering the air coming out of the motor. if you are seeing a lot of dust on your vacuum that is a sign you may need to replace the filters.

Do the directions mean to wash the black sponge or the actual filter? Is the sponge part of the filter or is it trash? Filter F27 Dirt Devil Purpose Cleaner for Pets Upright Bagless Vacuum Model #1LY2108-000 Hello, I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. Typically the top filter of which is the sponge is washable but the HEPA filter is not, it can be brushed off and vacuum off with another vacuum, but the best filtration is to replace the HEPA filter and to wash the sponge filter, if the sponge filter get to bad then replace the sponge filter as well.
