A large part of our clothing contains synthetic materials. During washing, tiny plastic fibres break and enter rivers and oceans via the waste water and thus harm our environment. This is exactly where the Guppyfriend washing bag comes in. According to the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, on average 86% fewer fibres of synthetic clothing break when washed with the washing bag. The fibres that do break collect in the corners of the washing bag after washing and can be easily removed and disposed of.

 

- It reduces fiber shedding and protects your clothes.
- It filters the few fibers that do break and doesn’t lose any fibers itself.
- It’s a daily reminder to change our buying habits and washing rituals.

Fill to about ⅔ full so that the textiles can easily move around in the bag

Add other (non-synthetic) garments or a second filled Guppyfriend to avoid imbalance

Wash at 40°c maximum

Use liquid and natural detergents without synthetics

Remove coarse dirt and pet hair before washing

Slide the zipper into the "garage" provided at the end of the zipper

Please Avoid:

Rinsing under running water - so that the collected microplastic fibres are not washed into the environment

Washing sharp-edged objects - to avoid damaging the material

Ironing - this can also damage the material (the crumpled surface is not a problem)

Use in the tumble dryer - broken fibres can get out of the bag

Hang/dry in direct sunlight - to avoid damaging the material
