Where these two actually differ
- We flag Surfactant ingestion risk (pets/children), Respiratory irritation from inhalation and Residual surfactant accumulation on carpet 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 solution where the Resolve is Aqueous surfactant blend, cleaning agents, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 30 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Resolve is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Folex grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
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 →
