Breathe clean, live better – retrofit for healthier indoors
Swachh.io is a tech startup working on solutions for pollution. Currently there are 2 products that are ready for production - SN95 Face Mask and Rena Air Cleaner. Rena is a low cost air cleaner that can be attached to a ceiling fan to make it into an air purifier. It works both in winter and summer. Rena’s filter options include washable and single use filters. SN95 is an N95 mask with integrated face shield with anti-fog surface treatment. The wide face shield covers ears which is ideal for medicos. Other than indoor air cleaners, Swachh is also developing a low cost outdoor air purifier with multiple patents and products in the pipeline. This includes SaaS products, biodegradable filtration media, filterless, ionic, mist and other methods of particulate matter, VOC and other air pollutants.
Swachh-Rena is an innovative retrofit device that transforms standard ceiling fans into cost-effective air purifiers, addressing indoor air pollution in an affordable and accessible manner. By adding a base adapter and specialized filters to a regular ceiling fan, Swachh-Rena effectively improves indoor air quality without requiring a dedicated air purification unit. Designed for Indian households, where ceiling fans are ubiquitous, this retrofit minimizes the need for additional appliances and reduces the overall cost of ownership, making it ideal for budget-conscious and eco-conscious users.
