How do you clean a DPF filter

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Cabin air filter

In this video, we see how the cleaning of the particulate filter is done professionally, and how when water is sent under pressure inside the component, it literally "burps" like a volcano, releasing all the ashes it had inside and cleaning itself, after a cycle that lasts for about three hours, up to 99% and returning perfectly efficient, like new. The water used for washing is in a closed circuit: in fact, it is filtered and then reused for subsequent washes, so in practice the same water is always used, purified. The carbon residues are collected and compressed and delivered to specialized companies that recover them to make shoe soles and rubber coatings.
