Where these two actually differ
- We flag Respiratory or skin irritation from surfactants and solvents, Residue buildup if overused or under-vacuumed and Ingestion risk in households with children or pets on the Folex and not on the Resolve.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Surfactant eye and respiratory irritation and Ingestion toxicity (child safety) on the Resolve and not on the Folex.
- The Folex is Aqueous cleaning solution, surfactants and solvents where the Resolve is Aqueous surfactant blend, cleaning agents, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
