How does laundry contribute to microplastic pollution?
Every time we wash clothes, tiny plastic fibers (microplastics) shed and flow into our water systems. One way to picture it is to think about all the tiny particles caught in a dryer lint filter. The same shed is happening in the washing machine, and the particles end up polluting our water and our food chain.

🧵
What’s the difference between synthetic and natural fabrics?
Synthetic clothing sheds persistent microplastics that linger in water and soil for years. Natural fibers still shed when washed. They are biodegradable in theory, but coatings and dyes can prevent this & release synthetic and toxic chemicals into the water.

🏡
What should people on septic and well systems know about microplastics?
If you’re on septic or well water, microplastics don’t just leave your home... they can cycle back into your own drinking water and soil. Lint and other particulate from your laundry can clog septic systems leading to damage and costly repairs.

What are the risks of microplastics for people and the planet?
Microplastics are being found everywhere: in our oceans, in our food, and even in our bodies. Scientists are studying their health impacts, but we already know they harm marine life and disrupt ecosystems. Microplastics have been tied to cancer, hormone disruption, heart diseases, and more.

    “Even in just a few loads, the visible microplastics we’ve captured with CLEANR are shocking. As a family of 5 we do countless loads per day and are glad that there is finally a filter like this to effectively remove microplastics. It works with any washing machine and is easy for anyone to use (including kids!)”
