Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Surfactant skin/eye irritation and Residual surfactant attraction of soil 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 surfactant-based cleaning concentrate 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 →
