Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS (perfluorinated compounds) in fluorochemical repellents, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and solvent carriers, Acute skin and respiratory irritation from application and Coating degradation and redeposition of residuals on the 303 Products and not on the Pledge.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components, Mineral oil respiratory risk (inhalation), Surface buildup and degradation over time and Flammability on the Pledge and not on the 303 Products.
- The 303 Products is Fabric protectant coating, formulation undisclosed where the Pledge is mineral oil, argan oil blend, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Pledge is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the 303 Products grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
