Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from solvent carrier, Incomplete ingredient disclosure, Durability and reapplication burden and Fire risk from solvent content on the Granger's 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 Granger's.
  • The Granger's is Wax-based DWR coating (composition not fully disclosed) 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 Granger's grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, 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 →
