Earth Friendly Features
- According to a study from the University of California at Santa Barbara, a city the size of Berlin releases a wash-related volume of microfibers equivalent to 500,000 plastic bags - every single day. The Guppyfriend helps to reduce the microfibers that release from clothing in the washing machine, which travel to our oceans and waterways. Microfibers are consumed by sea life, which can result in infections and blockages, reproductive problems, and starvation – problems that ultimately work their way up the food chain. Reduce microwaste at the source with Guppyfriend!

As a renter, I am not ready to fuss with a formal microplastics. I bought two guppy bags and a coraball. I strongly recommend the guppy bags over the cora ball. These are huge, sturdy, and I have had no trouble getting my clothes clean. I recommend buying two and splitting your load between them to keep your washer balanced. Very satisfying to put a brand new item of clothing in the bag and pull out chunks of lint from the bag that could’ve been washed into our public water. These have hanging loops and if you put up some hooks you can easily use a few of these as an alternative to a traditional hamper as well.

This bag was actually a lot larger than I expected and can fit most, if not all, of my synthetics! Then I just put my cotton garments in the same load outside of the bag- it works perfectly! NOTE: Doesn’t seem to work well with my washing machine when I do a load with just the bag. You need other textiles thrown in for it to run properly. Otherwise it’s just banging around in there and throws all the weight off :/
Can’t wait to start seeing results!
