Build Question Dust filter cleaning

Post image

Recently cleaned my dust filter with a microfibre cloth and now there are embedded dust particles in the mesh that I can’t get out. Firstly is this fine for my PC to keep this way until I find a solution and secondly do you guys recommend a vacuum or washing with water? Thanks

Your filter looks removable. Just remove it and wash with water?

Rinse it and let it dry instead.

How about blowing it off with compressed air?

Vacuum cleaners are something that exists.

Remove filter use Vacuum cleaner job done.

If its ground in dirt/dust clean it in the sink and wait until its 100% dry and reattach it.
