Unplug the Ionic Breeze from the wall outlet.
Grab the handle on top of the appliance and pull straight up to remove the attached filter, which is a pair of metal strips spaced about two inches apart.
Wipe down both side of each metal strip with a clean microfiber cloth dampened in water. The cloth becomes discolored with gray and black smudges, which are the accumulated dirt and dust drawn into the purifier over time.
Wipe down both metal edges on the filter with a dry cloth, then reinstall the filter in the Ionic Breeze by inserting vertically in the appliance and lowering until the assembly clicks into place.
