Do the wash!

Austin, I am not familiar with the Mc Master filter, but it probably is made of synthetic fibers, a lot like the material I have in my homemade filter. What I do after clening a bunch of WVO, I put them in about a 6 gallon aluminum pot which also gets duty in the fall and winter as my deep fry turkey roaster. I put my dirty filter material in the pot, fill it with an ample amount of water and give it a real good shot of "Dawn" dishwashing soap. Then on the burner I bring it up to a slow boil, and use a toilet plunger for agitation while the contents do a slow boil, for maybe 10 minutes. Then I fish my clothes out of the pot and put them in a pan of fresh water to rinse them out and cool them off. After that my wife will run them through the washer/dryer and they are set to run again. I ran cleaned up, unheated WVO through the Benz from Memorial day through the end of October with excellent results, running 5 gallons of WVO with 1 quart of RUG for my best running mix. Smooth and lots of power.
