Guppyfriend Microplastic-Catching Washing Bag

$34.99

Protect synthetic garments from excess wear AND protect our waterways from microplastics. What's not to love?

When you wash synthetic clothes like polyester, rayon, acrylic, spandex, and nylon, stains and stinks aren't the only thing that's going down the drain. These materials shed microplastic fibers that end up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans—threatening the animals who live there.

This easy-to-use microplastic-filtering washing bag looks like a large delicates washing bag, but it actually reduces shedding of synthetic fibers from your activewear and other synthetic materials and catches the few fibers that do wash off. The microplastic fibers will ball up against the hem of the bag, where you can safely collect them and dispose of them in the trash—not down the drain.

Made from untreated, recyclable Polyamide fabric. And at 29.1 x 19.7 inches, it's got plenty of room to wash several synthetic items at the same time.

How to Use

Put synthetic textiles into the Guppyfriend washing bag—filling up to ⅔ of the bag so clothes are still able to move around inside. Wash your clothes as usual, avoiding hot water (max temperature 104 degrees). Take out your textiles after washing. Do not tumble dry clothes in bag. Remove the released microfibers from the upper corners inside the bag and dispose of them properly (i.e. in a small container in the trash).

Our Ingredients

The Guppyfriend Washing Bag is made entirely of untreated polyamide and can be recycled (remove the zipper before recycling).

Safety & Precaution

Avoid adding sharp items like pins which could tear the bag. Do not tumble dry (clothes can be dried without the bag as usual).
