You compost. Now meet the next must-have for your eco-routine: CLEANR.
Stop microplastics from polluting our planet.
You already compost, making our planet better right at home. Washing clothing is a major everyday pollution stream as microplastic fibers shed from clothing with every wash. CLEANR attaches to your washer’s drain hose and captures 90%+ before they leave your home. It’s easier than ever to make a big, positive impact on our environment.
You believe in protecting our environment. Here’s how to take the next step:
Composting works because you stop waste before it becomes a problem. CLEANR is the same idea for washing clothes, capturing microplastics before they enter water, food chains, and ecosystems.
CLEANR changes that. Our easy-to-install microplastic filter attaches to your washing machine drain hose and captures over 90% of microplastics before they pollute our waterways.
