Quick Q: filters in your bath fans?

[Rcc]

While vacuuming out a years worth of dust build up in my master bath fan, I got to wondering. I’ve used cut to fit washable filters in my cars, why not the bathroom fans?

It’d make cleaning easier, just yank them every 6 months and run them in the dishwasher...

Anyone else tried this, love it hated it?

I haven't tried it.

That being said, I feel that my bath fans are already underpowered don't seem to do a good job keeping the moisture and condensation down in the bathroom (I will upgrade at some point) and I would worry that any additional resistance would make their performance even less satisfactory.

Yep. My upstairs fans were contractor grade 50cfm or so from the late 80s. I replaced both pretty quickly with larger and quieter units ~110 cfm. Well worth the $

I have access to the 4" ducts, along with the wiring, in the basement and attic and plan on installing remote inline duct fans in place of the normal noisy fans. We knew the bathroom needed work when we bought the place that the bathroom needed work, so I will probably wait until I get to that room to do the update.
