Our Vision

Making Shoes Last Longer

We extend the lifespan of shoes through automated, scalable cleaning technology – for a more sustainable future.

Our Mission

The World's First Scalable Shoe Cleaning

"We extend the lifespan of shoes through automated, scalable cleaning technology – for a more sustainable future."

Cleanz Technologies is a German CleanTech startup based in Cologne. Since 2022, we have been developing the world's first patented IoT shoe washing machine, revolutionizing an industry that has seen no innovation for over 100 years.

The Problem

100 Years Without Innovation

400M Pairs of shoes sold annually in Germany
380M end up in household waste
2.5B Pairs of shoes discarded EU-wide annually
100+ Years without innovation in shoe cleaning

Why are so many shoes thrown away? Because until now there has been no economically viable, scalable solution for professional shoe cleaning. Manual cleaning costs 40% or more of the shoe price. The textile cleaning industry generates €0 from shoe cleaning – despite the enormous market potential.
