The GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag helps prevent microplastics from entering waterways, by reducing fibre shedding during washing and filtering microfibers out before they are released into water.
- Clothing made with synthetic materials lose plastic microfibers during washing. Using a GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag helps reduce microfiber pollution by collecting microfibers before they enter the water.
- Reduces pilling and protects your clothes
- Size 50 x 74 cm
- Put synthetic and other delicate clothes in the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag, close the zipper all the way into the zipper cover and wash as usual together with other clothes at a maximum of 40°C. - Dispose of the collected microfibres in the residual/general waste. - Always put additional garments without any synthetic fibres into the washing drum when using the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag to prevent imbalance.

Does the job!
"Does the job! Tossed some clothes and undergarments that are made with some synthetic fabrics, and I found some remnants at the corners of the bag. A good way to keep plastics out of the water system!"

Happy to finally have a
"Happy to finally have a way of keeping microplastics out of the water when I do my laundry!"
Been looking for something like this
"I've seen people using bags like this around the internet to catch micro plastics and have been looking for one myself. I've used this several times now following the instructions, but maybe because I fill it less than halfway I haven't really seen many microfibers? The first time I used this though there was a kind of odd/kind of plastic-y smell. I looked online though and it seems like they use lavender essential oil on the bag? The smell seems like it could possibly be from the lavender, but it doesn't smell like the essential oil I use at home. It's a lot less noticeable now after several washes. If you don't like strong scents, maybe consider washing or handwashing the bag by itself and letting it air dry before your first use. I will keep using this for my activewear!"
So surprised at the first wash!
"Love this bag! As other commenters mentioned it does a great job collecting all the random synthetic fibers. All over the outside of it too! I will be buying more of these in the future to do my part."
I get sad when I have to wash them
"Since purchasing the guppy bag I’m finding my wash load contained inside it is not draining away properly, so have soggy clothes when the wash finishes. Also my washing machine on occasion since using the guppy bag detects an uneven load of washing so pauses until I address it. Have not noticed any micro plastics as of yet. I am environmentally conscious so will persevere a bit longer with it, just may have to reduce my wash loads and change the setting I’m washing at."
Absolutely gorgeous
"Well, I've used it five times and never found any fibres in the bag. Does it only work for new items? All our clothes are well used. I'll carry on using it, though, as it is well-intentioned, and I don't want to pollute unwittingly."
