I worked in a test equipment repair shop for several years. We used
dishwashing liquid as an antistatic cleaner for glass & plastic analog meter
face plates, to prevent static from affecting the meter needle. The secret
was to rinse it in warm water, cold water quickly removed all the soap,
while warm water let it spread around over the glass and left the tiniest
thin coating. Radio Shack sold a little 1-2 ounce bottle of antistatic
solution for several dollars that contained only dishwashing liquid and
water.
Why am I saying this? Possibly washing a filter this way could convey an
antistatic property, repelling instead of collecting dust.
