LuftWASH — contactless air cleaning for bicycles. Zero water, 30-second cycle, ideal for indoor and arid use.

Frequently asked questions

How well does air cleaning actually work?

For dry particulates — road dust, pollen, fine sand, indoor debris — LuftWash removes 85-92% of visible contamination in a 45-second cycle. It's not a substitute for water wash on muddy/salted bikes, but it's ideal for urban commuters in dry conditions and for 'pre-wash' in water-wash pipelines.

When is air-only the right choice?

Indoor bike rooms where water splash is a liability. Water-scarce sites. Museums, art galleries, and premium hotel lobbies where dripping water disqualifies conventional wash. Winter operations in freezing climates where running water creates ice hazards.

What's the energy profile?

9 Wh per cycle — 4x more efficient than water wash. Fully solar-compatible. LiFePO4-powered standalone LuftWash runs 1,000+ cycles between solar top-ups.

Can it handle e-bikes and premium road bikes?

Yes, without hesitation. Zero water means zero risk of water ingress into electronics, brake lines, or bearings. Many high-end road cyclists prefer LuftWash specifically for this reason — completely non-invasive.
