3D printer maintenance - can you clean and reuse the isopropanol alcohol (IPA) in the cleaning tank?

In this video I highlight some of my mistakes when performing maintenance on my Elegoo Mars 3 Pro 3D printer and trying to filter the isopropanol alcohol (IPA) cleaning fluid - trying to clean up the mess before the wife finds out!

There are lots of costs when 3D printing, so is it worth trying to filter and save the IPA instead of just disposing of it?

Thanks to ‪@Habes‬ for the video on cleaning the IPA tank, I wish I watched it before I tried to do it myself! Hopefully this video helps you avoid the pitfalls I faced. Further to that, I look at a couple of other maintenance tasks with 3D printers - checking the calibration with the Cones of Calibration and replacing the filter, which is nice and easy.
