Every time you wash your clothes, millions of microplastics shed into the water. 🌊

This is what one CLEANR Pod captured in a single day at Case Western Reserve University. 🧺

We have 100 filters installed on campus, and this is just the beginning.

Microplastics don’t belong in our water. 🌊

Every time you wash your clothes, they release thousands of plastic fibers into our waterways, unless you filter them out. 🧺

Homes across the country are now taking action to capture microplastics directly from their laundry with CLEANR’s filter.

This season is about protecting what matters most.

Holiday sweaters, cozy blankets, and winter layers shed microplastics when washed, but you can help stop them at the source with CLEANR.

Tis the season to filter microplastics!🎄

We were so excited when Kim, founder of .rewear, reached out and joined the CLEANR community by installing a filter in her home. 🤍

Clothing and microplastics can feel like a big, overwhelming issue, but taking action at home is empowering. Conversations like this remind us that small steps really do matter.

We’re so grateful to connect with inspiring voices like Kim and the .rewear community as we work together to protect who and what we love most.

Your septic and well wasn’t built for microplastics💧

Every time you wash your clothing, it releases lint clumps and tiny microplastic fibers. Without a filter, those particles can move through your septic tank, into the drain field, and over time migrate downward toward well water.

With CLEANR: you capture microplastics at the source, before they ever leave your home ✅
Less gunk in your system, less maintenances costs for you, less risk of microplastics, cleaner water for everyone.

A clear breakdown of Lake Erie’s growing microplastics challenge.

“Death by a thousand cuts” is the right description of microplastics in Lake Erie.
Lake Erie is not getting hit by one big plastic disaster. It is getting worn down by millions of small inputs that add up over time. Bags, bottles, foam, cigarette butts, and even industrial pellets. Then it breaks down, sometimes over decades, into particles that are much harder to deal with.

At CLEANR, we focus on one everyday source people often overlook: laundry. Every wash can shed tiny synthetic fibers. Our washing machine filter captures those fibers before they leave the home, because prevention beats cleanup.

We have a few more answers about the "astronomically higher" levels of microplastics in Cleveland's drinking water source, but without more information, how can anyone figure out how to solve the problem?
