Where these two actually differ
- We flag Enzyme sensitization (protease/amylase) and Residual surfactant skin irritation on the Dirty Labs and not on the Truly Free.
- We flag Surfactant irritancy and allergenicity, Respiratory irritation from volatiles or aerosolization, Fabric or material degradation and Corrosivity or off-label toxicity from unlabeled actives on the Truly Free and not on the Dirty Labs.
- The Dirty Labs is Plant-based surfactants, enzymes, water where the Truly Free is Liquid stain remover, formulation not disclosed, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Dirty Labs is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Truly Free grade, at 25% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
