The factory filters are?were a polypropelene fiber blanket element. That filter can be washed again and again if one takes care not to mess up the blanket element with a force of water. The aftermarket elements seem to be a tight paper element that will become restrictive when dirty and the concensus is that these cannot be cleaned. So cleaning the factory filter will save a lot of $$$. Do not worry about bits of bug legs or vege fiber that do not come out; those are become additional filter media. It is also not a problem if the filter does not clean up to white.
