Cabin Air Filter recycling?

A question for those of you who clean out your cabin air filters and use them again: How many times have you cleaned the original filter before it becomes unusable?

I cleaned mine at 27k miles...i should check it again im at 40k now. Ive heard a couple people that have cleaned them a couple times, never heard if they replaced it though.

I do not do this... I buy a new one every year.

Yeah i wouldnt think reusing it for a long time would be good. Some mold or mildew crap has to grow in there and then spread into the cabin....eww id hate to see what mine looks like under a microscope

I didn't even know there WAS such a thing until Saturday, so I guess I need to figure out how to check mine out!

I replace mine every 6 months... and it's REALLY dirty then.If you replace it every year, I think $12 / year is worth it.

As long as you don't put it back in wet you shouldn't have a problem with mold. For extra messure give it alittle spray of lysol before you put it back in their.

I checked mine for he first time yesterday and it was D.I.R.R.T.Y. like Christina Aguilera. Quite a few dead leaves and maybe a bug or two. I kinda beat it against the curb a little bit to get the big chunks out then put it back. I then went upstairs and promply ordered a new one.

Welcome Vibe78! See this post and the best place to get them. The dealer is too much! http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=11745For the filter recyclers; instead of recycling the filter, I would take it out completely before I were to recycle it.
