Make a difference. Stop microplastic pollution.
Give your washing machine sustainable superpowers with CLEANR’s microplastics filter and do you part to protect our water and our environment.
clean clothes without the mess
Stop the cycle with CLEANR.
Polyester, nylon – even natural fibers that are often treated – are shedding from our clothes every time we wash them with nothing to catch them. Each load, up to 1.7 million microplastics head down the drain, escape wastewater treatment plants, and head straight into our oceans, our food chain, and ultimately, our bodies.
CLEANR’s microplastic filter is easy to install and easy to use. It connects quickly to any washing machine’s drain hose to filter over 90% of microplastics that would have gone straight down the drain and into the environment.

A Look Inside CLEANR's Microplastics Washing Machine Filter
How CLEANR's Nature-Inspired VORTX Works
Emulating the the way fish gills work to filtrate water is over 300% more efficient than traditional filtration. CLEANR’s VORTX forms continuous vortices – masses of whirling fluid similar to whirlpools when in liquid form – in order to optimize filtration efficiency and longevity.
As wastewater flows through the VORTX’s spiral system, a stream of separated foreign particulates concentrates at the center of the VORTX before it’s pushed to the end for easy collection and disposal. Microplastics from the clothes in our laundry are the #1 source of microplastic pollution worldwide – accounting for about a third. CLEANR’s VORTX is certified to filter out over 90% of the microplastics down to 50 microns from the clothes in our laundry.

Certified by the Shaw Institute to Remove Over 90% of Microplastics
The Shaw Institute, a nonprofit research organization whose mission is to discover and expose environment threats to people, wildlife, and the environment, tested the effectiveness of CLEANR’s Washing Machine Filter by running a mix of tap water and plastic flock fibers (10 microns in diameter and 300 microns in length) through the filter at various concentration levels to simulate real world laundry conditions. The test was repeated three times and resulted in 90%, 97%, and 98% microplastic fiber removal rates.
