Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)
This next product is one that I didn’t think that I needed, and I had to admit that I kind of questioned it when I first saw it at a recent virtual Pepcom party. The CLEANR is a filter for washing machines to filter out microplastics, and if you don’t know what that is, I don’t blame you.
I’ll start out with what this is, and you can see that in the image. It is a massive filter that rests on our washing machine, or beside it, but it is designed to work on any washing machine no matter the make or model.
I was told that it sets up in 15 minutes, without any tools, and I will tell you that is very true. I discovered that there is some kind of pipe that joins up with your washing machine, and all you need to do is just join the CLEANR filter with it. All you need to do is add on the hose clamps, and put in a new pipe in the back. From there, you just put in this cool CLEANR VORTX to separate the microplastics from the washing machine drain water.
Oh, there is also a CLEANR Pod, which apparently you can use just once a week. Since a bunch of these pods cost $14.99, I suppose that is a good deal, and it makes certain that you remove the captured microplastics. You can then simply toss them in the garbage after that.
Now, the CLEANR has this app that will tell you when to change the pod, thanks to an alert. I am also told that it will tell you how much microplastics it will absorb to make a credit card. Seriously.
So, what is whole microplastic thing anyway? Well, apparently, there are a lot of tiny particles of plastics, like one five millimeters or smaller in diameter. Apparently, washing machines account of 35 percent of total emissions. There are other sources of microplastics like clothing (35 percent), tires (28 percent), and plastic waste like bottles (37 percent).
Now, this CLEANR filter can remove 90 percent of microplastic particles, provided they are 50 microns in size. I have also heard that these washing machine products can last 300 percent longer than existing filtration tech. Not only that, there is less maintenance.
You should be able to get this for about $299.00 on the CLEANR website.

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?
Seriously, I don’t think there is anything like this. I’m just going to just say that it is unique, but considering that tech companies are everywhere, who knows what else is out there?
