specs and government ratings . Don't go too small with filter pores, or your vac moter will suffer. A prefilter and maybe panyhose (hey) will help the filter's longevity. Totally worth it. Trust me, I'm Particle Man

For dry pick-up around the house I just wrap some toilet paper around the foam and secure it with rubber bands. When I finish vacuuming I remove the toilet paper and throw it out or flush it.
