CLEANR Washing Machine Filter
CLEANR has developed microplastic filtration technology which can be applied to washing machines for the removal of microplastics from the wastewater. CLEANR applied its technology to develop both internal and external washing machine filtration products.
The internal filtration unit can be installed on the inside of any washing machine to remove up to 99% of microplastics prior to entering the environment. The external filtration unit can be retrofit to existing washing machines, and it has been designed with a housing that optimizes the consumer experience relative to usage and appearance while maintaining up to 99% efficiency.
*up to 99% efficient when post-filtered to the 10-micron level in accordance with proposed UK legislation
How does it work?
The CLEANR internal washing machine filtration product can be installed with a minimal profile in any washing machine. Our product utilizes the currently installed washing machine pump to push the water through our patent-pending filtration technology while removing up to 99% of microplastics.
The CLEANR external washing machine filtration product can be retrofit to existing washing machines by simply attaching the current washing machine hose to the inlet. The external washing machine filtration product can be installed on any washing machine, and it utilizes the currently installed washing machine pump to push the water through our patent-pending filtration technology while removing up to 99% of microplastics.
Key Product Attributes
Efficient
Our filter captures greater than 90% of microplastics emitted when post filtered to 10-microns. This is the first filtration technology to market that meets all current and pending legislation around the world.
Sustainable
Easy to Use
Our filter was designed for an effortless consumer experience and requires less than 30 seconds to clean.
Long Lasting
Our biomimicry inspired design is able to last 10+ loads of laundry prior to cleaning.
Plug and Play
Our filter can be installed on any washing machine and utilize the current washing machine pump to push water through our 20-micron mesh.
Self-Cleaning
Our biomimicry inspired design utilizes the flow of the water to clean the filtration membrane and allow for higher water flowrates with lower pressure drops across and through our filter.
Inspired by Nature
Our filter was inspired by nature for nature.
Fully Mechanical
Our filter is fully-mechanical with no need for additional pumps or electricity.
Robust
Our filter works with a variety of additives and temperatures.

How Does Our Filter Compare to Existing Technology?
- Catch 3x smaller microplastics than current competition.
- Lasts 333% longer than existing technology before cleaning.
CLEANR Catches 3x Smaller Microplastics
Our filtration technology is the first to market that can meet all current and proposed legislation. We utilize mesh with a 20-micron pore size, compared to our closest competition utilizing mesh with a 60-micron pore size.
CLEANR needs to be cleaned left often
Our patent-pending technology utilizes our biomimicry inspired design to last longer than previous filter designs. Our technology minimizes the pressure-drop across the filter membrane to last 10+ loads prior to cleaning.
CLEANR needs to be cleaned left often
The CLEANR filter requires cleaning 3x less than our closest competition.
