cabin air filter question

I bought a k&n air filter for under the hood.
I am wondering if I can buy the same filter and use it for the cabin filter as well.
Here is a link to what I bought:

^ To my knowledge K&N doesn't make in-cabin air filters. Just engine intake air filters.

I have used air filters for home air conditioning systems - and cut them to size for auto. It is the same material but much cheaper way of going about it.

I use the 3M filtrete filters. One filter works for like 6-7 filters depending on the size you get.

no but I change my cabin filter every 4~5k miles when I get my synthetic oil change, so for me it'll be very cost efficient to have a washable and re-usable cabin air filter.

Waste of time IMO maybe after every other oil change would be smarter

I'm just a clean freak.
And I wanna make sure the filter is super clean cuz when I got my car at 52K miles, the filters were filthy so I just change them often!
