How is My Laundry the #1 Source of Microplastic Pollution?

You know the lint you clean out of your dryer? You probably didn’t realize this but most of it is made of plastic; microplastics to be exact. Those same microplastics shed from your clothes in the washer too… with nothing to catch them. Every wash load sends millions of microplastics into the waterways where they spread to our food, our bodies, and our environment. Microplastics are in way too many places they shouldn’t be.

That’s Why We Created CLEANR

Meet CLEANR for Washing Machines

CLEANR is an easy-to-install filter that connects to your washing machine drain hose and captures over 90% of microplastics from your laundry before they pollute our waterways. It’s time to stop the spread.

Protect our environment, your body, and our future.

FAQs

💧
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.
