With every wash of synthetic textiles, countless microplastic fibres make their way from the washing drum into our wastewater pipes. The journey often ends where microplastics have no business: in the environment. With our GUPPYFRIEND Washing Machine Filter, you can quickly and visibly stop the fibres before it's too late. We rely on established techniques that we constantly test together with laboratories and laundry departments of sports clubs to validate their effectiveness.

Instructions for use 

Better washing for a microplastic-free nature

Filtering microplastics when washing effectively but with little effort? It's easy. Use our retrofit GUPPYFRIEND Washing Machine Filter Set. Whether starter or professional, the filters are suitable for your washing machine and compatible with all standard connections. The transparent filter housing makes microfiber discharge visible, thus helping you to adjust your washing behaviour.

The self-cleaning reusable filter means no waste and no CO2-intensive footprint due to the sending-in and replacing of filter units. Keeping microplastics out of the world's oceans couldn't be easier.

This is how it works

  1. Read the enclosed instructions and install
  2. Then, continue as usual: turn your washing machine on and go for it
  3. Open the drainage tap and filter the water through the sieve after washing. Close the tap again
  4. If necessary, remove the filter cartridge - clean it and dispose of the residues in your residual waste.
  5. Reinsert the cartridge, carry on, and continue to stop microplastic pollution

Instructions for use

Cleaning: Regular cleaning of the filter is essential. It is best to check whether cleaning is necessary after every wash.

Laundry detergent: Please use an ecological detergent without microplastics.

Water pressure: In rare cases, an additional pump may be required to increase the water pressure.

GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag: Using a GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag reduces the cleaning effort of the filter and protects your clothes.

Become a "Greenwasher"

You wash what you wear. That's why every wash load is as individual as the inside of your closet. The discharge of plastic fibres and their textures are always different. Which filter is right for you? For everyday household use, the Starter-Set and the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag equip you well against microplastic waste. For frequent washers, we recommend the Plus-Set, which filters out nasty microplastics even more efficiently by combining two filtration stages. Learn more in the FAQs. However, when you buy your clothes, favour durable, natural materials, and remember, always use a plastic-free detergent to care for your clothes and protect nature.
