Apart from health reasons, another main reason for filter paper cleaning is that people think there is a smell of pulp. Unbleached filter paper usually smells like pulp. But the white filter paper will also have the smell of pulp, do not neglect, after using a large packet of filter paper, when removing the new packaging, you can smell whether there is a better smell.

If the odorous filter paper can be removed by rinsing, but there are times when it doesn't work.
