What Resolve says and does about PFAS
Resolve is the clearest disclosure gap we found in this category. Its owner Reckitt says its site discloses ingredients for all its products sold in the United States and Canada, but Resolve does not appear in that site’s brand list, and the Resolve ingredient pages returned server errors when we checked. The three Resolve safety data sheets we could read are all stain removers and name no fluorochemical, while disclosing only ingredients classified as hazardous.
- Brand statementReckitt says it maintains a product transparency website that discloses ingredients for all its products sold in the United States and Canada. Reckitt ↗
- Brand statementResolve does not appear in the brand list on that site, which lists Lysol, Finish, Vanish and others. We checked on 1 October 2026 and the indexed Resolve ingredient pages returned server errors, while the equivalent Lysol page loaded. Reckitt, RBNAinfo brand index ↗
- MaterialsThe safety data sheet for Resolve Pet Expert Carpet Stain Remover lists hydrogen peroxide and sodium dodecyl sulphate and names no fluorochemical. It also states that ingredients not classified as hazardous are not reported in that section, so a non-hazardous fluorochemical would not have to appear. Reckitt Benckiser, safety data sheet ↗
- Brand statementReckitt says it has maintained a Restricted Substances List since 2001, but the policy document it publishes names no individual substances, so it cannot be used to confirm PFAS is restricted in Resolve. Reckitt Benckiser, Restricted Substances List Policy ↗
- Regulatory filingWashington State will restrict the sale of cleaning products containing intentionally added PFAS from 1 January 2027, with reporting from 1 January 2026. The rule names product categories, not brands. Washington State Department of Ecology ↗
Sources checked October 1, 2026. A brand statement is the company’s own claim, which we report but have not verified. Our grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests.

- Does Resolve have PFAS?
- Resolve averages 80 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 24 Resolve products graded as of October 2026, and 21 of them reach its 70 point pass mark. Grades are model-based estimates built from published materials, ingredients and disclosures, not lab tests. Reckitt says its ingredient site covers all its US and Canadian products, but Resolve is absent from that site’s brand list and its Resolve ingredient pages returned errors when we checked. The Resolve safety data sheets we could read name no fluorochemical, and Reckitt makes no PFAS statement about Resolve either way.
